Equality

Everyone is equal in the sight of God. Yet we live in a world where poverty and inequality still persist.

We tackle the power imbalances that cause poverty by working together with those who have been left behind. We seek to create a world in which everyone has an equal voice, equal power, and an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives.

Dignity

We believe that all people are created in God’s image and have inherent value and worth.

People living in poverty should be able to make their own decisions about the future. We fight for their dignity and support them to change their own lives.

Justice

Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive. We are passionate about justice and we stand together with the most vulnerable and excluded to build a fairer world.

Together with people living in poverty, we amplify our voices to boldly speak truth to power, and to challenge systems and structures that oppress people.

Love

Love is the core of who we are. God’s love transforms us; it gives us the strength to choose to love people living in poverty who we’ve never met, and the empathy to create change for good.

Love is our motivation. It drives us to stand in solidarity with our global neighbours against poverty and injustice. It moves us to strive for a world where everyone has fullness of life. It sustains us with energy and passion as we commit to working alongside our brothers and sisters worldwide.
