The organisational mottoes "Love in Action" and "Better Together" aim at embedding mutual caring into the everyday life of the community.


Vision

A society where the physiological and psychosocial needs of all people are met that they may live a wholesome life


Mission

Our mission is to tap into our positive community values, and model love in action - "ፍቅርን በተግባር" through serving the poor and marginalised by implementing sustainable community-led social inclusion projects.


Our Values

  • LOVE: We are motivated by love to serve others before ourselves. We believe in the transformative power of love. Hence we encourage and emphasise on serving in love.

  • HOPE: We have high hopes that if we are united and serve each other in love, we can bring about positive changes in our community.

  • HUMILITY: We recognize that everyone has something to offer; hence we are willing to listen and learn.

  • INTEGRITY: We practice what we preach...that is love (fikir).

  • COURAGE: We acknowledge the multi-faceted challenges our communities face. But, we are committed to face them.

  • RESPECT & INCLUSIVENESS: We treat and serve everyone, without exception, equally and respectfully.
