Beliefs

Promoting the dignity of people must remain central to assisting them, through recognition of each individuals right to information and participation, in a way that can challenge all to manage and improve the conditions in which they live and work.

People must feel the genuineness of assistance offered through the long term presence of individuals working along side them, however isolated the circumstances where they live. Communication and contact with them should be maintained long term in order to foster continuing progress through their sense of 'belonging' rather than that of isolation.

Family Care believes that only a fully comprehensive approach to the upgrading of health services in areas effected by extreme poverty can create the conditions for sustainable change. (See details given under Assistance/ seeing through a health project in Nagorno Karabagh)

Family Care remains flexible in responding promptly to emerging needs both at individual and institutional levels as this improves the quality and impact of the support given.

Family Care strives always to ensure that maximum funds go to direct assistance with the minimum administrative and support costs.
