About Us

Our commitment is to our clients and their transformation. We are committed to loving and serving those who are poor and marginalized striving to enable lasting improvement in their lives, families, and communities. The needs, expectations, and wellbeing of families in poverty inspire everything we do.

We foster a spirit of serving in all that we do. We are committed to modeling our behavior on being of service to one another and not on any supposed personal superiority or advantage (whether based on our position, influence, personality, wealth, or otherwise).

We value consideration shown to all people and commitment to teamwork. We operate on the basis of respect for all people; in particular, we aim to fully value everyone and to affirm personal dignity and uniqueness. This respect also is the foundation for our relationships with communities and others involved in our work – including supporters, investors, program partners, and service providers. Integrity: living our values with transparency and consistency. We honor the trust placed in us by the families we serve, supporters, investors, program partners, service providers, and staff, endeavoring to manage all our resources transparently, reflecting our motivation. We aim to do the right things for the right reasons, whether or not anyone will know.
