Help One Now empowers local leaders who are already working effectively in their respective communities through friendship and partnership. They are our greatest resource, and without them, sustainable change is not possible. These leaders are community development experts, pastors, team builders, and co-laborers for Christ on the journey to end poverty. They collaboratively mobilize the local church, government agencies, and other entities to engage the community's needs with crucial initiatives that produce community resilience, health, and progress. OUR CORE VALUES: At Help One Now, we are: • Transparent - We view all of our relationships as friendships, and value open conversations and transparency in those relationships - from our team to donors, international partners, and everyone in between, we’re always open, honest, and up front., • Inclusive - We are a wide table: we believe anyone who wants a seat at the table of doing good deserves to be here. That means we have a wide range of personalities and perspectives surrounding us, and we think that’s beautiful. We recognize tension, but prioritize connection and empathy., • Collaborative - We believe our greatest gift is one another. Collaboration is how our best work gets done - collaborating with our friends, donors, international partners, and each other is what makes us great., • Innovative - We are smart, fun, and entrepreneurial. Being part of our team means taking initiative and problem-solving some of the most unique issues, from small to large., • Empowering - We exist to empower people around the world, and we take that value to heart. This includes empowering our team, donors, and friends. We believe everyone’s voice matters and seek to see all people live out their fullest potential., • Committed - Development work is hard; it’s not a quick fix and takes time. We are committed to the partners, families, and children we serve around the world. We’re in this for the long haul, and we believe true partnership only exists with true commitment. That commitment is a two-way street in all of our relationships. We strive to uphold that commitment in all ways - to our donors to utilize the resources they give for the greatest impact, to international partners to stand by them and work together for good, to the people we serve to develop in healthy, sustainable, dignified ways, and to each other to see this work through., • Friendship - We value the collaborative relationships we develop here at Help One Now. We think the best way to stay committed and connected is to remember that we are building friendships. We create a team atmosphere; we love to have fun together, work hard, and play hard. We take that value into every facet of our organization - our global partnerships, team building, donor journey, and board relationships.
