We’re moved and inspired by our Christian belief that every person has intrinsic value, and that it’s our responsibility to advocate for the poor and marginalized without regard to race, creed or nationality and without adverse distinction of any kind. We serve on the basis of need alone. We strive to respect the culture and customs of the people we serve in order to preserve their humanity and dignity.

Communities are transformed when there is trust. With a shared set of values and a deep commitment to our partners, we believe mindsets shift and relationships strengthen — with God, self, others and nature — to build and maintain lasting networks of resilience.
