Mission Principles
Focus on Community Development
We create opportunities by funding training for all communities to establish income-producing ventures. Underpinned by community banking as the foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty.
Promote Dignity & Hope
Everyone has something to contribute and gain from creating communities in which all people are brought out of poverty. Dignity and hope are best achieved through local communities developing their own strategies to get them out of poverty.
Support Sustainable & Transformational Development
Our work is successful when it transforms lives and promotes positive and lasting social and economic change within a community. When it is based on mutual trust and fully shared accomplishment and when it demonstrates responsible stewardship of all resources entrusted to us.
