In all that we do, SWEDI is driven by the following values:

• Empowerment – which is a recognition that all the beneficiaries of SWEDI’s actions have a foundation upon which SWEDI will base to intervene to improve their lives.
• Equitable Opportunity – in that SWEDI’s actions and services in form of: healthcare, education, improved sanitation, economic empowerment, and others are available to all those in need, that we will reach without discrimination.
• Accountability – we are accountable to: those in need or are affected, to partners, and to authorities.
• Timely action – with the experience of COVID-19 and other emergent disasters, SWEDI believes and operates on the basis that any and every action must happen on time, without delay. Any delay in response can be a difference between life, destruction or death.
• Respect and Dignity – SWEDI recognizes that being in extreme need is equally extreme vulnerability. Thus, we respond to community needs with utmost respect and dignity.
