Justice
Finds (part of) its application in the fulfillment of human rights, in equal relations between men and women, and in being accountable to each other about our policies and actions.
We believe that each individual was created in the image of God, that he is unique and that he deserves the greatest respect. As a result, we reach out to all those in need, regardless of origin, gender, religion, age or nationality.
Wherever possible, we adapt our assistance to needs and contexts, respecting the dignity and autonomy of the people we assist. We also believe that everyone has the inalienable right to live with dignity and realize their potential. We believe the fruit of justice to be peace.
Dignity, equity and human rights are values that serve to promote justice.
Compassion
Moves us to be committed to those who suffer and are excluded, in their sorrows as well as their aspirations and hopes.
Their appeal on solidarity and justice forms the basis for our work. We wish to relieve the suffering of those living in crisis, disaster or conflict.
We identify the most vulnerable people and reach out to them to offer them practical support in emergency and reconstruction. We believe compassion is more than individual charity.
Compassion challenges us to seek the root causes of vulnerability and exclusion. We believe justice to be rooted in compassion.
Stewardship
Means that we take and we share responsibility for the wellbeing of the whole living earth, now and in the future: land and its natural resources, our environment and sources of energy.
We feel responsible to relieve the burden our generation has placed on the earth and on future generations. We stand in solidarity with those who live on the margins of society as a result of centuries of oppression and work together to address systemic injustice.
We believe good stewardship to be rooted in compassion with and justice for the earth.
HOPE
leads us to work collaboratively to achieve our shared goals based on long-term commitments.
We are not discouraged by setbacks, and we take joy in progress. We want to give hope to people afflicted by crises and oppressed by situations that seem hopeless.
We support these communities in the implementation of sustainable improvements and develop their capacities to build a better future. We feel responsible to lighten the burden of future generations that our generation has placed on the earth.
We believe that hope is rooted in caring, compassion and justice. Hope gives life. And it seems that hope is always there, even in the worst conditions.
These core values shape our vision of a peaceful, just and sustainable society. They impact our theory of change and give direction to our practical work. They inspire us to work with people from different cultural and religious backgrounds who share these values.
Related to the above values, HOPE FOR AFRICA has defined operating principles, which guide our operations: inclusiveness, accountability, and innovativeness.
As an organization following Jesus Christ, our mission is to reach people for Christ by meeting their basic physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Our vision is to make the world a better place, just and poverty-free, where the desperate find hope. We envision a world where every person finds hope, dignity and their place in the body of Christ. It’s also about seeing everyone live the dream that God gave them.
Our purpose at Hope for Africa is to bring the hope and love of Christ to the hopeless by showing compassion to the poor, hungry and vulnerable. It is our fervent desire to bring wholeness to broken people by seeing lives transformed in many ways.
