The lives of all human
beings are of equal value and all have equal rights.

In a world rich in
resources poverty can be overcome.

Poverty makes people more
vulnerable to conflict and natural calamity (including climate change).

People’s vulnerability to
poverty and injustice is increased by inequality based on, for example, gender,
race, ethnicity, class, caste and disability; women are especially
disadvantaged.

Overcoming poverty and
injustice involves changing ideas and beliefs, institutions, policies, and
practices.

Technology and markets are
part of lasting solutions to poverty; but people must be empowered to harness
them.

from whom they receive support.

Collaborative
•

Non-Allied (Social Inclusiveness)
UDC is not a religious,
political or a commercial organization; we are a Western Sudanese national
charity whose vision is to promote Peace, Development and Community Empowerment
for All amongst different communities facing poverty and suffering as a result
of natural or man-made disasters. We are therefore fully committed on providing
humanitarian, early recovery and development support to all communities
irrespective of religion, gender, creed, political affiliation, tribe etc.
Community Empowerment and Commitment
UDC Organization Sudan believes that
given timely& appropriate support all disaster affected communities have an
inherent ability to pull themselves out of crises. Therefore, the approach
adopted when implementing our programs is fully participatory; in which ideas

design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all initiatives. We also
expect full commitment to these values from our staff, partners and targeted
beneficiaries.
