Our Values
Sustainability
Learning takes time. That’s why we do everything we can to ensure our schools are around not just today, but tomorrow too. We achieve this by building places that kids love to go to. We’re lucky to have committed long-term donors who believe in our work and we make sure that any new project activity does not compromise our ability to operate our existing schools.
Transparency
The Doors Project is like a well-behaved teenager. Every cent you give us is spent exactly on what it’s meant to do. No cigarettes, no alcohol. Promise. 100% of our donations flow directly into our schools and the communities we support.
Reliability
Do you know that guy who always commits to everything and then never shows up? No one likes that guy. And neither do we. That’s why we’re not that guy. We’re the kind of organization that puts (y)our money where our mouth is. When we say we’ll do something, it gets done. Easy. And we love telling you how you made it possible.
Respect
We are deeply humbled by everyone we’re lucky enough to interact with in our work. We recognize and respect that the environments where we operate can operate differently from what we are used to. We embrace how little we know, and look forward to what we can learn with each new step.
Partnership
Do you want to go fast, or do you want to go far? We’ve seen the quote, and we love it. We’re in it to stay in it. And that’s why we need great people like you who are reading this to help us get there. No one can do this alone. We also love working with local partners to leverage their deep knowledge and proximity to communities. We know that a single person can make a difference in the world, but together we can achieve more.
Passion
We are passionate about what we do. We don’t take the work for granted. We believe that together we can ensure that every child receives the education he/she/they deserve and that through that, we can make the world a better place.
