Values, Beliefs, Committments and Plan
- Each person is created in God’s image and deserves the love, respect, and best efforts of her or his neighbors.
- Excellent education should happen both in and out of classrooms.
- Churches should be spiritually growing and socially engaged.
- Quality education and good leadership improves democracy and conditions for economic growth.
- Both what we do and how we do it are important.
- Each member of Haiti Partners is integral to improving who we are and what we do.
And so we strive to:
- Develop practices and structures for sharing power more equitably, which includes making major decisions by consensus.
- Create conditions and opportunities for healing across economic, cultural, and racial divisions.
- Open ourselves to new people, new approaches, and new questions.
- Nurture our relationships as we work, so that we have fun, laugh, pray together, and grow in our friendships along the way.
- Be accountable to each other and to our donors—and even more so to the people we serve.
- Work out of our devotion to following Jesus. And we collaborate with a wide variety of people and groups where our missions overlap, though at times our beliefs may differ.
