Our Values

What guides us

Five values, one standard

A diaspora association lives on the trust placed in it, here and in Rosso. These five values guide our choices, our spending and the accounts we publish.

They are not decoration: they decide what we fund, who decides alongside us, and what we publish afterwards.

Our values

What we will not compromise on

Solidarity

Mutual aid first

The diaspora and the people of Rosso move forward together. That is the condition for a shared future. Our work grows out of this collaboration, and our ties grow stronger when times are hard.

Respect

Everyone’s dignity

The ARD defends the dignity of all, diaspora member or Rosso resident. Respecting diversity, cultures and opinions is what makes a relationship last.

Responsibility

Being accountable

We publish what we do, what we spend and what it changes. Our partners and local residents alike can check it.

Innovation

Looking for better

A canteen backed by a vegetable garden and a henhouse. A teaching garden. Adapted irrigation. We look for new answers rather than repeating what exists.

Commitment

Giving your time

Every member brings their expertise, their resources and their time. All the work is voluntary. That is what makes our projects possible.
