Our values
Our values shape how we care for children, how we treat each other and how we look after the trust people place in us.
- Child safety
- The safety and best interests of each child come before everything else, including our own convenience or reputation.
- Dignity
- Every child is a whole person with a name, a story and a future. We protect their privacy and never use their circumstances to shock or to sell.
- Compassion
- We respond to children and families with warmth and patience, especially when they are going through something hard.
- Respect
- We listen to children, value their views and treat families, colleagues and partners with courtesy.
- Equality
- We care for every child without discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, disability, nationality or background.
- Accountability
- We take responsibility for our decisions, report honestly on our work and act on complaints and feedback.
- Integrity
- We do what we say, use resources for the purpose they were given and do not make claims we cannot support.
- Community
- We are part of Khayelitsha. We work with local people, organisations and services, not apart from them.
- Empowerment
- We help children and families build the confidence and skills to shape their own lives.
- Transparency
- We are open about who we are, how we work and how donations are used.
