Connexios’s mission statement:
- Our mission
We are committed to a life in peace and justice for all.
God wants people in need to be supported. Therefore, together with our
partners, we support church and social projects in Switzerland and
abroad.
- Our task
Our assistance/support is spiritual as well a material.
We want to share our lives and our faith in God with others. To do that in word and deed is our continued
challenge. We put time, energy and financial resources towards that
goal. And we want to encourage others to get active in a similar way.
- Our network
Joining others brings us forward.
We coordinate our activities and projects. Through our combined activities we enjoy fellowship with each other and cultivate a close relationship with those
individuals, churches and organisations that count on our
support.
- Our principles
We promote self-determination and self-sufficiency.
Our partners function and decide autonomously how best to help
themselves. Our assistance is to serve their goal. Our activities are based on principles such as
mutuality, transparency and a holistic Christian approach.
