Values and principles are the cornerstone of what we do, why we do it, and guide how we work to achieve our mission. Our underlying principles are:

• Equal rights: We are against all forms of unfair discrimination, and challenge unfair treatment on all grounds.
  
  
• Equal opportunities: All people have the right to equal opportunities for growth and development.
  
  
• Hope: We seek to support the deprived and marginalized people to live their lives with dignity.
  
  
• Pride: Diversity is valued in all that we do: we recognize the diversity and richness of Afghans; and their cultures and values.
  
  
• Unity: It is only through working together that we can grow and rebuild Afghanistan at the local, regional and national levels.
