Mission

The Affero Project is a non-profit, 501c3 organization which educates, inspires and equips people to help end global poverty and injustice worldwide.

Core Values

1) Combating poverty, injustice and improving human rights worldwide

The Affero Project is passionate about empowering our community to combat some of the worlds toughest global issues affecting the poor. Through our giving program, education, events and more, we raise awareness of these issues and release funds to organizations who are engaged in the fights against these problems.

2) Sustainable Development

We are committed to empowering organizations that firmly adhere to our policies of sustainable development. We believe in holistic community transformation and innovative practices which promote long term sustainability to the environment and people.

3) Global Learning and International Justice Education

We are committed to the education of our community and beyond, training on global learning and international justice issues, helping equip people with understanding for life in our ‘global village’. We do so through developing integrated curriculum and teaching resources for schools, leading and conducting national research projects, Affero Adventure Tours, blogs, articles, events, seminars and PR.

4) Stewardship

We are committed to the highest standards of professional competence and financial accountability. We believe the resources at our disposal are not our own, they are a trust from our donors on behalf of the people and organizations we support.

5) Empowering our Partners and Community

We are open and factual in our dealings with donors, project communities, governments and the public at large and work hard to promote the endeavors of our partners and assist in helping them do what they do best.

6) Telling Stories

Affero is passionate about helping tell the stories of the organizations we partner with and support them through our events, media and websites. We believe that there are thousands of inspiring stories of individuals and organizations who are doing amazing work around the world but lack a voice to tell their story, The Affero Project exists to help tell theirs.
