Mission, Vision and Values
The objectives of Project Kindy Inc. are to advance education and relieve poverty by providing funds for community-run kindergartens managed by the Canossian Daughters of Charity in rural Malawi.
Our dream is to partner at the grassroots with the Canossian Sisters and Malawian local leaders to radically improve the lives of the children and communities all over the Machinga District through the sustainable development of village-run kindergartens. The values we strive to cultivate are:
- Dignity – the children in our kindergartens are cared for by all with the highest respect
- Transparency – the Australian donors see how their gifts change lives and communities
- Subsidiarity – the local Malawians are empowered to run their village kindergartens
- Respect – the Canossian Sisters are supported to provide the project management
- Trust – all 3 partners communicate often as we work towards our shared mission
- Integrity – all 3 partners provide regular and accurate financial and operational reports
