About Us

Core Values | Contact Us | Child Protection Policy | Website queries and issues

• Break Poverty Cycle has three core values which guide and determine its actions. The core values are our aim to live and work to.

• (1) - We value people

  We regard all people as equals. We give priority to basic needs of people. We act in ways that respect dignity, uniqueness, and intrinsic worth of every person - the poor, the donors, our staff and their families, boards, and volunteers. We celebrate the richness of diversity in human personality, culture and contribution.

• (2) - We are committed to the poor

  We seek to facilitate an engagement between the poor and the affluent that opens both to transformation. We respect the poor as active participants, not passive recipients, in this relationship. They are people from whom others may learn and receive, as well as give. The need for transformation is common to all. Together we share a quest for justice, peace, reconciliation, and healing in a broken world.

• (3) - We are responsive

  We are responsive in a different sense where deep seated and often complex economic and social deprivation calls for sustainable, long-term development.

  Child Protection Policy

  Break Poverty Cycle (BPC) is fully committed to protecting the security, privacy, and dignity of the children.
  
  The Frequently Asked Questions below explain how we protect children, the implications for our child sponsorship web pages, and your responsibilities as a user of this website.

  What is child security?

  Children have the right to be completely secure from the fear or reality of abuse (either physical or emotional) resulting from an inappropriate contact with a sponsor or any other person.

  How does the web sponsorship process seek to protect child security?
  You will notice as you proceed through our sponsorship site that we release only limited information about the children. We do not include last names, community locations, or other information by which the location of sponsored children could be easily identified. We intentionally withhold this information until after the identity of the sponsor is verified.

  The sponsorship process is dependent upon your agreement, as sponsor, that you will NOT attempt to contact a sponsored child, his or her family or community members, in any manner other than that prescribed and permitted in advance in writing by Break Poverty Cycle. In particular, telephone calls, email or unplanned visits to the child's residence and community are forbidden without written permission and oversight by Break Poverty Cycle. In addition, all postal mail and packages sent must conform to Break Poverty Cycle policy that will be stated in materials mailed to each sponsor.

  What is child privacy?

  Children and their families must be assured that Break Poverty Cycle is protecting the integrity of information, including photographs, that is shared about them with the public. We take potential abuse of child photographs on the web very seriously. Privacy also demands that children, their families and communities be shielded from any potential inappropriate contact from sponsors or others.

  How does the web sponsorship process seek to protect child privacy?
  Downloading, copying, or other replication of photos or other information that are a part of this website without advance written permission from Break Poverty Cycle is strictly forbidden. Child profiles are presented for the purpose of conveying appropriate information about the sponsorship relationship to the potential sponsor, and are not for distribution in any other manner.

  What is child dignity?

  The lives of children, their families, and members of their community should be portrayed with accuracy and dignity. The children we work with are not objects to be pitied, but are partners with us in the process of bringing holistic (spiritual, physical, psychological and social) transformation to communities in poverty and in transforming the hearts of beneficiaries and donors alike.

  How does the web sponsorship process seek to protect child dignity?
  We are committed to portraying the life situation of the children, families and communities we serve with accuracy and dignity. We seek the full, informed consent of parents, guardians, and/or community leaders for a child's participation in our child sponsorship programs.
