Core Value
Partnership
KHF aims to build solidarity with local communities and support the empowerment of local partner organizations. Local people build the strength to overcome poverty and discrimination, while we and our local partner organizations improve organizational capacity and global citizenship.
Advocacy
KHF prioritizes those who are most vulnerable to discrimination, such as women, children, persons with disabilities, and Dalits. We strive to identify and address the structural causes of discrimination to help them overcome these challenges.
Sustainability
All KHF projects are community-based. They establish cooperative-type production community groups to create stable and sustainable income and foster a structure for an independent life.
Self-Determination
KHF encourages local people to improve self-determination. By actively participating in community projects, local people develop a sense of pride and ownership and foster an engaged and hopeful attitude toward life.
Localization
KHF prioritizes the voices of the community. We collaborate with local partner organizations based on trust and respect for them. We recognize that they understand the local context best and actively utilize local resources and capacities.
Accountability
KHF manages donations transparently and ensures that the project's outcomes continue with local strength even after funding ends. We also adhere to international standards and guidelines for development cooperation throughout all the process including project implementation, fundraising, and outreach.
