Operating Principles

  1. As members of Touching Africa, we undertake to work according to the following principles:    

    • We prioritise that which makes a positive impact and difference to the community of Africa at all levels.
    • We approach everything we do, in an inclusive, integrated holistic manner for the benefit of all. We therefore strive to recognise the value of passion and purpose in people’s lives and honour small beginnings while keeping sight of the bigger picture.
    • We acknowledge that the overall well-being of the community is paramount to our interest and benefits from our activities. Therefore, we focus on the interest of the end-user and inspire beneficiaries to take ownership and responsibility for the desired outcomes.
    • We support a cross-cultural approach within the diverse community of Africa and value the power of unity and cooperation in all we do.
    • We commit to the principles of sustainability, ensuring that present needs are met, without compromising resources for future generations.
    • We conduct, manage and administrate all our operations with integrity and partake in the transformation of society by taking a stand for ethics, values and clean living.
