• Trust: We work in ways which foster trust and goodwill with clients, families, communities, partners, donors and PNG Government agencies.
• Dynamism and resilience: As an organisation, we foster dynamism, adaptability and resilience.
• Learning: We engage with and support the use of evidence. We share our own lessons and look to learn from others as well.
• Empowerment: We actively pursue opportunities to empower women and children and other marginalised people in PNG.
• Professionalism: We recognise and value the professionalism, skills and experience of our staff and their contribution to institutional learning and development. We strive for excellence.

• Discipline and probity: Creating change requires hard-work, sustained commitment and ethical behaviour.
• Partnerships: We strive to build strong partnerships with PNG government agencies, civil society and private sector organisations, both in PNG and overseas, and donors.
• Human rights: We value and support the basic human rights and central role of women within their community and in development.
• Role of civil society: We value the operational freedom which stems from being a not-for-profit and civil society organisation. We support the development of strong civil society in PNG as an important force for positive change.
