Our Core Values (AREIPA)
Accountability
We seek to execute best accounting practices and render adequate explanations to our members.
01
Respect
We respect the fundamental and other Human Rights of our members, especially the fundamental Right to Dignity of the Human Person, Right to Life, Right to Livelihood, and Right to Development as determined by Article 22 of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights (ACHPR). We respect the diversity of our ethnicity, religion, race, and cultures.
02
Empowerment
We provide information, opportunities, and resources to build the capacity of the urban poor, those living in slums, and informal settlements to at least meet basic needs of survival with dignity, free from policy harassment and lack of access to justice.
03
Inclusion
We envision a city that works and has a place for all, irrespective of social status and economic power. Everyone should be able to reside and earn a livelihood in the city and receive a fair share of government consideration and development projects. All processes for change are participatory.
04
Partnership
We partner with individuals, communities, corporate organizations, and governments at all levels to achieve the cooperative’s objectives
05
Advocacy
We make deliberate efforts to seek government-funded projects and private sector programs that benefit the cooperative society.
