Our Ways Of Working

In the years to 2030, we want to adapt, innovate and embrace complexity to deliver the solutions needed for an uncertain future. Guided by our vision, mission and values, we will fight poverty and injustice, we will continue to work with vulnerable communities through our humanitarian and development programme work, and advocate and campaign to change norms and policy, using a range of measures and tools.

Systemic Change

Our vision is a just and sustainable world in which everyone can thrive. We work to transform the unequal and oppressive social, political and economic systems that perpetuate poverty, injustice and inequality.

A Feminist and Anti-Racist Approach

We  pursue a feminist and anti-racist approach in everything we do, and how we do it. This means ensuring that everyone has equal rights and opportunities.
