理念
We believe that the hungry should be able to eat, the sickto be able to be treated and children learn at appropriate times. These are the basic human rights that should be guranteed universally without any form of discrimination but are nevertheless denied to unacceptably large number of people especially children, women and marginalised groups. These are the people that we work with in order to bring changes to themselves and the world.
We believe that community development must be carried out with active contributions from the community members, with minimal outside intervention and fully volunteering their labours to do so. Our programs are based on the community ownership of the changes and all procurments and supplies, be it skilled manpower or construction materials are obtained locally in order to bring maximum benefits to the local economy.
We believe that all development work should be sustainable by the villagers and should consider the ecological implications to its environment. We use the traditional knowledge and skills to the maximum possible extent to ensure that develoment results can be maintained by the locals.
