We pledge to deal fairly, equitably, openly and honestly with:
The Children: by giving them highest priority in all decisions for the well-being of each individual child in a constructive family and community context; by fostering his or her growth as a contributing member of society; by promoting the child's self-respect and human rights, and by promoting social and economic development consistent with these goals.
Donors: by standing fully behind the accuracy of information sent to donors from the field about the needs of each individual child and by responding to the sponsor's inquiries promptly, honestly, and as fully as possible, in keeping with the highest standards of respect for the rights and sensitivity of all parties concerned.
Governments: by complying with applicable legislation and regulations; by cooperatively advocating for the Rights of Children and by assisting in the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on November 20, 1989). |
