• HUMANITAS makes a difference at both grassroots and leadership levels, enabling young men and women to transform their lives, and leaders to translate local experience into lasting, society-wide changes.

• HUMANITAS works with people to make their own government more effective. HUMANITAS works in partnership with local organizations and builds alliances within countries to achieve results far beyond those which could be accomplished with HUMANITAS resources alone

• HUMANITAS empowers people to create their own vision, set their own priorities, and establish their own lasting programs to meet challenges of health, education, nutrition, family income and rights for women. These programs are based almost entirely on people's own locally available resources.

• HUMANITAS links people to existing in-house resources and trains people to mobilize their own resources.

• HUMANITAS never imposes external solutions in any community. Instead, it mobilizes and develops committed local leadership - to empower grassroot people to succeed in their self-reliant efforts.

• HUMANITAS focuses on the capacity-building of the people themselves - rather than on material handouts - the change that results is inherently sustainable.
