Guiding Principles – Our Approach
In all it does, Reez Community Foundation will:
- Plan with people not for them: Any detailed action plan must arise from ongoing dialogue that reflect their most pressing concerns. We ill remain grounded in the community.
- Undertake action and analysis simultaneously: Engage in continuing evaluation, self-reflection, adjustment, refinement and retraining as needed whilst implementing our action plan.
- Commit to nurturing constructive partnerships: Gain allies by being an ally.
- Have a firm handle on discrimination: Articulate a clear understanding of racism and its inter-sectional implications. Strive to candidly address these in all relevant interactions to facilitate the progressing of information into knowledge and then wisdom.
