We strive to live out our values and principles consistently at every level of the organization, and in every location — from the remotest field team to the international headquarters. Our desire is that as we work together in teams, our attitudes, words and actions will be true to Medair’s vision and character.

We seek to bring hope to people devastated by crisis and caught in seemingly hopeless situations. Together with the communities we serve, we strive to make sustainable improvements and increase their capacity to build a better future.

We relieve human suffering in times of crisis, disaster, and conflict. We seek out people who are the most vulnerable, come alongside them, and offer practical support through relief and rehabilitation projects.

We are committed to employing best practices in our management and operations, pursuing excellence in all we do. We are accountable to our supporters, our staff and those we serve, and we seek input from them to help us improve our activities and procedures.

We believe each person is made in God’s image and, therefore, uniquely valuable and worthy of the highest respect. Consequently, we reach out to all those in need, irrespective of their race, gender, religion, age, or nationality. Wherever possible, we personalize our assistance, taking individual needs and circumstances into account, and respecting the dignity and independence of the people we serve.

We are motivated to care for those who are suffering because we follow Jesus Christ, who taught us to love God and to care for those in need. Our faith inspires us to give our best in all circumstances. By faith we pray for wisdom when facing difficult decisions, and for courage to live and work in demanding and often dangerous situations.
