WelcomeTo be fully human, we must translate our compassion and concern into useful service. United foundations programs, spanning many cultures and countries, share certain fundamental principles:
Serving the Underserved
Our programs serve people who have been economically, politically, or otherwise marginalized. Our aim is to build a bridge of compassion between our donors and the people we serve people around the world who have the fewest resources.
Building Healthy Communities
United foundation embraces an expanded concept of health, recognizing that spiritual and cultural renewal, economic self-sufficiency, and basic civil and human rights are as important to well-being as medical care.
Promoting Sustainability
United foundation programs foster self-reliance and aim to reduce dependence on outside assistance. In the communities where we work, we share skills and technology appropriate for local conditions, assist local decision-making, and help launch projects that will become financially self-sufficient. This transfer of knowledge enables communities to care for their own, now and into the future.
Helping out is not some special skill. It is not the domain of rare individuals. It is not confined to a single part of our lives. We simply heed the call of that natural impulse within and follow it where it leads us. |
