The following principles guide us in our efforts:

• The Millennium Development Goals form the foundation of our objectives.
  
  
• We seek to co-ordinate our activities with other reputable and experienced agencies to ensure efficient and effective delivery of aid.
  
  
• Development is a long-term process.
  
  
• Aid and charity is NOT the long-term answer for the Developing World. We believe in creating a long-term self-sufficiency in our donor countries.
  
  
• We must address the causes, as well as the symptoms, of extreme hunger, poverty and disease.
