People first
Dignity is the starting point.
The opportunity to live well should begin with the basics: water, shelter, health, learning and a livelihood.
These are the themes at the heart of ACEARTH. They are closely connected. The chance to learn depends on daily circumstances; a livelihood connects with the land, trade and the stability of a home.
Our mission starts with attention to those connections and respect for the people within them. A community is more than a collection of needs. It is made up of knowledge, relationships, ambition and possibility.
Think big. Act bigger.
Three ideas that keep the focus on people.
Respect dignity
Recognize the people, experiences and abilities behind every conversation about need.
See the connections
Consider water, health, education, shelter and livelihoods as parts of everyday life.
Value community
Make room for local knowledge and for the voices of the people most closely affected.
