The principles and values that guide our work
Our work is grounded in faith in Jesus Christ, which guides our values and approach to service. We believe every child and family is created with dignity and purpose, and we are motivated by Christ's example of love, compassion, and justice to serve the most vulnerable. This faith informs our commitment to holistic care, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, while remaining inclusive, respectful, and focused on sustainable, life-transforming impact for individuals and communities.
The Program will seek to capture how different groups perceive or are affected by our interventions. The voices of underserved groups, such as the girl child, children with disabilities, and minority tribes, are heard through well-tailored and context-specific data collection tools each year. The program will also capture proposed actions addressing any identified gender-related issues.
The program is designed to support a collaborative, adaptive, and learning approach informed by sound qualitative and quantitative data, which will inform and influence decision-making and resource allocation. By monitoring operational context and complexity, our specific interventions will have an evidence base for proactively mitigating challenges to implementation effectiveness.
Efforts will be made to incorporate do-no-harm principles in developing interventions, systems, and processes. This will enable the team to make informed choices about ethics to suit the particular threats and vulnerabilities among beneficiaries. Our team will continuously train all staff and partners on do-no-harm principles and integrate them into weekly reporting and meetings to discuss specific risks related to potential conflicts.
The interventions will be developed in a participatory manner. Where appropriate, select stakeholders will review program elements and participate in data collection and the learning and adaptation process.
