Data-driven
We're committed to rigorous scientific research that honors the cultures where we work. Our decisions are guided by evidence, and we've built a best-in-class tech platform (shamiriOS) that puts data at our fingertips.
Growth-Minded
We aspire for more—for ourselves and for our organization. We value passion, work ethic, commitment, potential, experience, and skills. We make mistakes and grow from them.
Grassroots
We are a bottom-up organization with an anti-colonial approach that lifts the communities we serve. Our solutions emerge from deep understanding of local contexts and genuine partnership.
Collaboration
We take individual ownership and actively seek the contribution and input of others. Our best work happens when we combine our diverse perspectives and expertise.
Clarity & transparency
We emphasize decision-making that is transparent and clearly communicated. Everyone understands the "why" behind our choices and has access to the information they need.
Nimble
We take individual ownership and actively seek the contribution and input of others. Our best work happens when we combine our diverse perspectives and expertise.
Hardwork
We work hard for ourselves, for our team, and for Africa's young people to build the future we want. Excellence requires sustained effort and dedication.
Fun
We make time to have fun. We have team-building activities across the organization and within our teams. Joy and connection fuel our sustainability and creativity.
