Our Guiding Principles

1. Empowerment First

We are committed to helping people in poverty, especially women, become self reliant. Our work is grounded in dignity, opportunity, and the belief that lasting change begins with empowerment.

2. Depth Over Breadth

We intentionally support a small number of major projects so we can focus our time, resources, and attention where they create meaningful transformation.

3. Long Term Commitment

Each project we support is backed for a minimum of five years. Real change takes time, and we recognize this. 

4. Active Partnership

We work only with organizations that welcome our involvement. We value transparency, regular reporting, and clear evidence of how our support is improving lives.

5. Local Impact

Our efforts concentrate on communities in India and in the state where our Board of Directors lives. Staying close to the work allows us to understand local needs and witness the impact first hand.
