Cores Values

  • Diversity and inclusion

    We understand the diverse nature of the disability we serve and the level of need within the different communities we work with. We therefore provide selfless service driven, not only by the desire to achieve positive and lasting change, but also by the need to meet the needs of all children and young people, in their different circumstances and backgrounds, without discrimination.

  • Equity and fairness

    We are acutely aware that persons with SBH are different in terms of severity of disability and educational and cultural backgrounds, and so we are fair and just and meet the needs of all persons with SBH equally and without fear or favour.

  • Compassion and love

    We appreciate, love and respect every person with SBH and treat them with compassion and dignity. We respect roles and views and listen to each other, especially the affected children/youth and their caregivers and we speak the same ‘language' as we seek to serve

  • Accountability and integrity

    We are a transparent and trustworthy organization that is highly accountable to our donors, members, community and stakeholders. We ensure that SHAU’s relationship with its partners and members is based on trust.
