Katrina Aid Today's Guiding Values for Humanitarian Relief

UMCOR�s Guiding Values for Humanitarian Relief Work

UMCOR is the humanitarian relief and development agency of the
United Methodist Church, a worldwide denomination. For 65 years
UMCOR has responded internationally to natural or human made
disasters�those interruptions of such magnitude that they overwhelm
a community�s ability to recover on its own.

UMCOR�s mission is to alleviate human suffering. We provide
practical, proactive support to the most vulnerable survivors of
chronic or temporary emergencies due to natural or civil causes.

UMCOR honors cultural differences. We deliver aid to people without
regard to race, religion, politics, or gender. We seek input from
local communities in identifying needs.

All people have dignity and worth. The most essential partner in
UMCOR�s work is the beneficiary, the ultimate end-user of our service.
There are no �victims� in our vocabulary. There are only survivors
whose courage, along with a humanitarian helping hand, can
transform communities.

UMCOR always works with partners�usually in local settings.
Civic organizations, faith communities, school leaders and other
local resources are great assets to sustainable recovery and
development, particularly after massive traumatic events. They
exist close to the beneficiary and will continue to serve as
positive influences in the community after UMCOR�s work is
complete.

UMCOR is a good steward of our gifts and grants. Private donors can
designate their gifts to our programs with the assurance that 100%
is spent on the programs. The 8.5 million members of the United
Methodist Church assure our ability to guarantee this through
undesignated giving that underwrites our general administrative
expenses.

UMCOR manages its public grants with equal care, spending less than
10% on administrative costs.

UMCOR avoids tying the promise of its relief and development activity
to any religious or political viewpoint.

UMCOR welcomes the good efforts of countless individuals and churches
who support us through gifts and prayers and service. We incorporate
volunteer action everywhere we can and ask our supporters to accept
that sometimes it is not appropriate. We appeal to all volunteers to
keep learning as their first objective so that the consequences of
their service may become a true benefit.
