- We prioritize community participation in all aspects of our work and organization, including development strategic plan, projects and programmes, empowering community members to identify and design solutions to their problems, and get involve in importance decision – making processes on issues that affect their day to day lives in the community and in determining the work of the centre.
- We are accountable first to the communities we serve, and then to our community partners.
