Core Values old

values

    • We consider the Gospel of Service as the drive and inspiration in our work. Therefore, spiritual formation is an integral part of whatever we do, emphasizing on a close connection between faith and life.
       
    • We recognize that the gospel of service has already transformed people in different churches and communities. Poor people call us to be together and ask us to focus on what unite us. Therefore, we foster an ecumenical approach
      .
    • We believe that each person and each community has talents and resources, which can be shared for the good of all. The promotion of solidarity and sharing with the needy among the ‘able’ people forms the starting point of our work.

    • We believe that the poor and vulnerable are a gift to each one of us. We consider them a resource for a community and not a burden. In our experience, sharing with the poor and the vulnerable generates love and happiness.

    • We value the strengths and weaknesses of each person and believe that  “the strong” and “the weak” need each other just as “the poor” and “the able” need each other.

    • We promote voluntary service since we believe that we have freely received our talents, resources and gifts for the benefit of those in need. 

    • We highly value community: therefore all our undertakings are done Only Through Community. The involvement of other people, institutions and stakeholders in our work and decision-making is therefore important.

    • We believe that each of us is called to help one another in our transformation process, as we have been helped ourselves to start working for love and solidarity.

    • We believe that our motivation and drive needs to be combined with professionalism in all areas of our work and put a high value on empowerment and capacity building of all people.

    • We believe in and promote honesty, transparency, integrity and accountability in all our undertakings and commit ourselves towards effective and efficient utilization of resources meant for the poor and vulnerable.

    • We value simplicity in the modes of our lifestyles for we believe we are called to live a life close to the people we serve.

    • We believe that we need to be witnesses; in our personal lives of the values we promote among others and commit ourselves to a continuous process of personal growth towards those values.

Dumisha Amani - Sustain Peace

Building a Secure Environment for Children to Flourish

The Dumisha Amani project is driven by a crucial objective: to contribute to a secure environment where children can grow and develop. We recognize the profound impact of conflicts on children and young people, both directly and indirectly. In our project area, many children have suffered violations, been forced into perpetuating violence, and experienced the loss of loved ones. They have endured physical harm, displacement, education deprivation, and sexual abuse and exploitation. The consequences of conflict extend beyond the immediate, hindering economic and social development and impeding the holistic growth and development of children. With Dumisha Amani, we strive to create a brighter and safer future for every child.

Psychosocial support

People affected by drug abuse and mental illness struggle with various life challenges that puts pressure on the mental wellbeing. This is not limited only to those who are directly affected but also the significant others and other members of the family. The programme therefore adopted a household approach in offering counseling services including family therapy to ensure psychological wellness of the entire family. These services are offered under the auspices of the community counseling centre where the programme mobilizes counselors from the community who in turn offer free services to clients using St. Martin facilities.
