According to Aristotle, nothing is as practical as a good theory. The work of the Catholic Institute for Development Justice and Peace (CIDJAP) revolves on a number of principles and values which keep it going and these include:
Compassion for people confronted by poverty and hardship regardless of whether or not the suffering is in the public eye.
Solidarity with the people ravaged by the reality of poverty and exclusion, and also discerning its underlying causes.
Partnerships are fostered between poor communities and donor agencies which recognize the importance of each other.
The Integrity of creation is recognized in the intimate relationship between protecting and sustaining the environment and promoting human development.
Stewardship is sustained as the Institute strives to manage all the resources entrusted to it and are openly accountable for our work.
