Communities are in need of intellectual and economic development pursued in combination with efforts to foster qualities of the human spirit such as justice, truthfulness, compassion and humility. In short, true prosperity entails both material and spiritual progress. Every member of the human family can not only benefit from but also contribute to this progress.

Prosperity Foundation is a charity committed to building capacity within populations to take charge of their own social, economic and spiritual development. Prosperity Foundation collaborates with others in raising human resources for the delivery of a range of programmes which align with its charitable purpose.

In seeking to achieve its aims, Prosperity Foundation strives to:

• Build capacity in individuals, institutions and communities as inseparable protagonists in the construction of a better world
• Promote processes of transformation simultaneously within human thought and behaviour as well as in the structures and policies of society
• Draw on both science and religion as twin complementary systems of knowledge
• Promote the generation and application of knowledge as the process most central to social progress, rather than the delivery of finance, goods or services alone
• Approach its work in a humble posture of learning in action, and to pursue truth in a spirit of consultation
• Apply to its work the principles of the equality of women and men, the oneness of the human family and the equality of all peoples, races and ethnicities, the essential nobility of human beings, justice, freedom from prejudices of all kinds, and the independent investigation of truth
