Our values and core beliefs are centered on three inter-related themes:

• Empowerment: Everyone who is involved with WLO– whether by contributing to our work, or those who are living in poverty – feels Empowered and Dignified. We believe every person has something to offer.
• Inclusiveness: We are inclusive – open to everyone, regardless of ethnic background, sex, color, ideology or religion
• Accountability: Our purpose-driven/results-focused approach holds us – and others associated with us – accountable and transparent.
