We can save life with our Guiding principles

The actions of our programs are guided by the following principles:

Commitment

As a national entity and part of the social entrepreneurial ecosystem, we are solidly committed to the cause of national development and amplification of social, environmental and economic well-being for people in general.

Volunteerism

Our work is carried out voluntarily without advocating economic purposes, driven by a spirit of empathy and altruism, meaning that our beneficiaries are not charged for the services we provide.

Sustainability

Our actions not only aim to assist communities, but also provide them with appropriate tools and knowledge so that they can expand the possibilities for efficient, sustainable use and management of natural resources.

Goals:

  • Support the reintegration of orphaned children, youth, and the elderly into family life: We seek to ensure that those who have been estranged from their families have the opportunity to return to family life, receiving ongoing assistance and ensuring basic conditions for a dignified and sustainable life.
  • Contribute to the eradication of mental poverty through integrated and sustainable projects: Our aim is to combat all forms of poverty, including mental poverty, through the implementation of comprehensive and sustainable projects that promote social inclusion and psychological well-being in communities.
  • Promote empowerment and knowledge transfer: We seek to empower the beneficiaries of our projects by providing relevant local knowledge and transferring know-how to strengthen their skills and capacities, thus contributing to personal and community development.

  • Contribute to the reduction of child violation rates in communities: We aim to create safe and protected environments for children, implementing preventive measures and promoting awareness of children’s rights, with the aim of reducing rates of abuse and violence.
