Team Urunji

Our core values

//////////

Integrity and Professionalism

Urunji Child-Care Trust ensures that donor funds are used according to the budget line(s) and that all transactions are done in a transparent manner. Any payments above $1,000 are not made unless approved by the Procurement Committee.

We provide financial reports to donors no matter how big or small a grant/donation is. We believe timely presentation of these reports cements the trust we earn from our donors – the more time it takes to prepare reports, the more suspicious donors become.

//////////

Courtesy

All our employees are trained to treat all our stakeholders with respect. We do believe that poverty is not a choice and that poor and needy children should not be taken advantage of. All our Home Visitors* are specially trained professionals who undergo rigorous training and are hand-picked by the Appointments Committee after a successful working interview.
//////////

Fairness, Equity & Teamwork

We endeavour to reach out to all vulnerable and needy children and their families regardless of their race, educational background, family history or colour. We do not support political parties, religious groups or a particular group of the society.

We involve the grassroots in problem-solving. We do not take an implementation role: we take a facilitator role so that programmes will be sustainable even in the event we wind-up programmes in areas where we work.

//////////

Faith in local leadership

We work at grassroots level, identify and co-create sustainable solutions. We are not afraid of taking calculated risks but are open to new innovations to end poverty and injustice.

We strengthen local leadership and structures to ensure community ownership.
