About Us
Our Core principles
SURCOD's projects can only have an in-depth and far-reaching impact through community participation. Without an active participation and local ownership from the community members - in the planning, implementation, evaluation and sustainability - in our programmes, our efforts are vain.
We strive to design projects in total open-mindedness for external ideas and suggestions. We always consider working with other actors - government offices, local and international volunteers, NGOs - in order to benefit from a combined expertise and also, we also actively engage our community members to participate in different intercultural exchanges.
We constantly strive for gender equality both externally and internally. Our gender empowerment work through projects is sustained within SURCOD as we attempt to show the right example. We see women and men as equal and thus endeavour to suppress the inequalities faced by women.
It is only through strong commitment that we can achieve our goals. With an optimistic commitment to our ideals, we never give up or stop believing in our principles. SURCOD has a vision for Malawi and it will do everything it can to get there
SURCOD attempts to be transparent and accountable to its members, staff, communities, partner organisations, donors or funding agencies and all the other stakeholders in both financial and programmatic senses.
