At Diar Foundation, our journey is guided by a steadfast commitment to a set of core values that define who we are and how we operate. These values serve as the foundation upon which we build our programs, engage with our community, and make a positive impact on the world.
Commitment
Commitment to our clients and their transformation. We are committed to loving and serving those who are poor and marginalized in the developing world, striving to enable lasting improvement in their lives, families, and communities. The needs, expectations, and wellbeing of families in poverty inspire everything we do.
Humility
Humility a spirit of serving in all that we do. We are committed to modeling our behavior on being of service to one another and not on any supposed personal superiority or advantage (whether based on our position, influence, personality, wealth, or otherwise).
Respect

We operate on the basis of respect for all people; in particular, we aim to fully value everyone and to affirm personal dignity and uniqueness. This respect also is the foundation for our relationships with communities and others involved in our work – including supporters, investors, program partners, and service providers.

We honor the trust placed in us by the families we serve, supporters, investors, program partners, service providers, and staff, endeavoring to manage all our resources transparently, reflecting our motivation. We aim to do the right things for the right reasons, whether or not anyone will know.

We promote excellence, professionalism, and best practices in every aspect of our work, seeking to maximize every opportunity to fulfill our mission.
