Our Core Values: Our Guiding Principles
At Shalom Rescue Foundation, our work is grounded in guiding principles that ensure our actions remain consistent with our mission, vision, and values. These principles shape how we serve, partner, advocate, and grow. They guide our daily decisions and long-term strategies as we work to protect, empower, and uplift vulnerable populations.
People-Centered Approach: We place the dignity, voices, and lived experiences of those we serve at the heart of every program and decision. We do not assume—we listen, learn, and co-create solutions with communities, not for them.
Do No Harm: We operate with the utmost care to avoid causing harm—physically, emotionally, culturally, or socially. Our work is trauma-informed, conflict-sensitive, and rooted in respect for human rights.
Equity and Inclusion: We are committed to breaking down systemic barriers and ensuring equal access to opportunities for all—regardless of gender, age, ability, ethnicity, religion, or socio-economic background. We prioritize those who have been most marginalized and excluded.
Accountability to Communities: We are accountable not only to our donors and partners, but first and foremost to the individuals and communities we serve. We regularly assess, reflect, and adapt our work based on community feedback and outcomes.
Sustainability and Long-Term Impact: We focus on creating change that lasts. We invest in local leadership, build community capacity, and design programs that foster long-term self-reliance and resilience—not dependency.
Partnership and Collaboration: We believe meaningful progress is only possible when we work together. We partner with grassroots organizations, community leaders, government bodies, educators, health workers, and civil society to create collective impact.
Transparency and Integrity: We are committed to openness, honesty, and ethical practices in all aspects of our operations. We manage resources responsibly and communicate truthfully with our stakeholders and beneficiaries.
Holistic and Integrated Support: We address not just one issue—but the full range of physical, emotional, social, and economic challenges that affect people’s well-being. Our approach is comprehensive, recognizing that healing and empowerment are multi-dimensional.
Child and Survivor Safeguarding: We uphold the highest standards of protection for children and survivors of abuse or violence. We ensure safe spaces, confidentiality, ethical engagement, and zero tolerance for exploitation, abuse, or negligence.
Innovation and Learning: We are constantly learning and evolving. We embrace innovation, evidence-based practices, and continuous improvement to enhance our programs, respond to emerging needs, and stay effective in a changing world.
These principles guide every step we take as we work toward a world where the most vulnerable are not only protected but fully empowered to thrive. They ensure that our impact is not only visible—but deeply ethical, inclusive, and lasting.
