Our values

The board of FONIC Trust is committed to Christian faith principles of equality, honesty, integrity and community.

  • Equality .. We believe all humans are made in the image of God. Everyone is of equal value and worthy of acceptance and respect.
  • Honesty .. We believe it is essential that we are honest in all that we do. This is reflected in how we interact with regulatory bodies, governments and local partners both in the UK and Nepal.
  • Integrity .. We believe it is essential that we relate to everyone in a manner that reflects our Christian faith, that our word is our bond, that we can be trusted in our financial management, record keeping and reporting.
  • Community .. We believe that community is the ideal and primary means established for the development of individuals and families.
