Our Principles

Inclusiveness

We are committed to “Leaving None Behind” engaging, supporting and recognizing the values of everybody while guaranteeing local accountability and ownership. We promote the active participation of persons with disabilities in the planning and implementation of our shared initiatives to fulfil the motto “Nothing About Us Without Us.”

Intergrity

We have a reputation of performing our work with a consistent and uncompromising adherence to our mission and principles. We particularly value transparency and accountability and operate through clear policies and procedures while displaying the utmost level of respect in the way we engage with communities and individuals as well as honesty in the way we manage funds and resources.

Innovation

We strive to think outside the box to break down barriers that have been limiting the growth and full potential of people and the society. We have been at the forefront of research and innovations to address leprosy and disability, partnering with organizations that have shown commitment and dedication to using new and innovative methods of solving these challenges. We value creativity and inclusiveness in program design and development.

Partnership

We believe that we can achieve our goals faster and better if we share the expertise of partners dedicated to the same cause we defend, and are willing to work alongside Disabled People Organizations, national and international NGOs and intergovernmental organizations, as well as government bodies, private sector and academia. We are especially keen to build and strengthen multi-stakeholders’ partnership with those organizations who are focused to specific disabilities in order to enhance our cross-disability approach.
