CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT SERVICES (CDSS)

MISSION

To empower underprivileged children, youth and women through access to quality Education, Scholarship, WASH and Sustainable Livelihoods. 

CORE VALUES       

The values of CDSS are at the core of all that we, as an organization, do. Our commitment to applying the values to the way we work makes us unique amongst other, similar, aid and developments.

· Accountability: We care about others and allow that care and concern to motivate our actions. We have empathy with people who are suffering. We value individual and community relationships and show our understanding of people’s struggles in the way we treat them with kindness and love.

· Integrity: We respect each other and our different beliefs. We respect the communities we work with. We value the resources given to us and use them in a cost-effective and transparent manner. We strive for mutual learning with our partners.

· Stewardship: The resources at our disposal are not our own. They are a sacred trust from God through donors on behalf of the poor. We are faithful to the purpose for which those resources are given and manage them in a manner that brings maximum benefit to the poor.

·  Diversity: We embrace change and proactively prepare for the unexpected in the pursuit of greater efficiency. We promote imaginative solutions and leverage partnerships to accomplish our mission; our versatility and optimism allow us to work and thrive in an ever-changing environment.

·  Collaboration: What we can achieve in partnership is far greater than what we could ever hope to achieve apart.
