How we work

Everything we do is guided by our values – we partner, are impactful, creative, ethical and responsible.

Our Approach

We deliver impactful community projects that help to drive progress, support sustainable development and protect the environment. We identify local solutions that can work at scale and replicate this at community forums. Optimism runs through all that we do, and while the challenges we face are great, we believe that positive change can and will be achieved.

Ethical and responsible

Our values are at the heart of everything we do, and we hold ourselves to high ethical standards. We go beyond legal compliance and regulations and are committed to ensuring we are socially, economically and environmentally responsible. All our staff are trained in anti-bribery, anti-bullying and equality. We have a safeguarding policy and a modern slavery and human trafficking statement, both of which apply to both ourselves and those we work with.

Partnership

Partnerships are at the heart of our work – from community groups to multilateral organizations. We make a trusted partner and friend to those we work with. The Foundation builds relationships, shared understanding, and collective focus with like-minded partners in 5 counties to generate evidence and build capacity in order to drive change in policy and practice. 

Supply and Logistics

The Foundation supports families affected by conflicts, disease outbreaks and disasters by mobilizing supplies that range from medical equipment to sanitation kits and temporary learning and living spaces.

Innovation

Now, more than ever, innovation is critical to building a better world for vulnerable communities. We must do more collectively, we must act faster together, to design, use and scale truly transformational solutions for vulnerable groups to thrive. 

Our Promises

Throughout our work, Beegsan Foundation has committed to the following promises:

Continual learning

Operating a comprehensive organization-wide results framework will give us insights into where and how we are able to make a contribution that builds on our distinctive strengths. We know how to share lessons across the organization and to learn from both success and failure. We will use this experience as we realize an ambitious new approach through our Learning and Impact Framework. 

This institute-wide method for understanding organizational effectiveness is groundbreaking for a grassroots based organization; we will share the lessons from it over the course of the strategy period.

Promote Gender Justice

Already a strong focus, our efforts both ‘look out’ — through project design, training and support — and ‘look in’ to Beegsan Foundation itself — through our internal Gender Equality Policy. Inspired and guided by our faith values, Beegsan Foundation is fully committed to expanding our important projects focused on providing justice, protection and empowerment, ensuring equitable impact, and the effective access, participation, recognition and voice of both males and females as well as ensuring the protection and promotion of the family as the cornerstone of society. A peer-to-peer support group is one of the new initiatives to ensure gender equality is deeply embedded.

Protecting the Environment

Climate change and environmental degradation have devastating effects on the communities with which we work. We enable communities to better protect themselves from the impact of disasters, with disaster risk reduction schemes often encompassing climate-change adaptation as well as initiatives to safeguard the environment from further harm.

Providing Islamic Perspectives

Islamic perspectives on humanitarian and social justice issues inspire all aspects of our work. We are a policy leader on Islamic humanitarianism. We develop distinctive, practical approaches to the key issues that are affecting our world today – including peacebuilding, child protection, and gender.
