OUR PILLARS

TFPI Beliefs

FREEDOM & EQUALITY

We believe in and value freedom and equality as basic human rights. Those trapped in poverty and exploitative situations have been denied these rights at the hands of their oppressors and we are committed to restoring these gifts and enabling precious lives to be lived to their full potential and purpose.

COMMUNITY & PARTNERSHIP

We believe that the fight against poverty and injustice needs to be a collaborative effort. We are ineffective on our own and must build a community of people and strong partnerships to make a significant impact. We value the many and varied skills, gifts and talents that people have and believe that unity, co-operation and partnering together for a common purpose is powerful and effective.

JUSTICE & MERCY

We hold justice and mercy in the highest regard. We recognize the need for a balance of both to bring hope to a hurting, broken world. We are committed to seeing the cycle of poverty broken, the enslaved set free, the oppressed delivered, the perpetrators brought to justice and justice and mercy prevail.
