Values
Dignity
Inherent in our work culture is the trust that each person contributes to the best of their abilities and feels passion for the change we wish to bring. We trust every individual to make the best decisions and choices for themselves and the organisation. We engage with honesty, openness, and fairness in all our interactions without losing sight of our vision. We sustain this culture by ensuring that every person feels heard, seen and acknowledged for what they bring to our work.
Equity
We believe that every person is on a journey to reach their fullest potential and achieve our collective vision. We understand and acknowledge that each person could be at different milestones on this journey as existing systemic structures allow. We strive to cultivate a culture of empathy that reaches out to the person wherever they are in their paths and provides access to opportunities to ensure no one is left behind. We cultivate a work environment where everyone feels safe to participate and belong.
Inclusion
We believe that no one must be afraid of being different in a healthy work environment. Our approach is to nurture a space that honours each person’s authenticity and celebrates the diversity of various intersectional identities. Knowing how diverse perspectives contribute to our work’s depth, quality, and impact, we seek to value and enhance the differences in our identities and lived experiences.
Meaningful participation
Lead Read Foundation believes in fostering active involvement, shared decision-making, and collective ownership. We empower children, youth, and communities to contribute their voices, ideas, and experiences, ensuring our programs reflect their needs and aspirations. This value drives inclusive, impactful, and community-led interventions for sustainable social change.z
