Our Core Values
At PeaceKeeping Helping Hands, we are driven by a set of principles that guide everything we do:
Everyone has a right to a decent quality of life.
Everyone is worthy of respect and equal consideration.
Any community initiative or research conducted (for the intended populations served) will be provided to those most in need and/or least powerful.
The program will aim to remain unbiased (open to any race, religion, class, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, disability, etc.), open-minded, and fair with the services and programs it provides.
Our Goals
Provide temporary stay/shelter to the homeless communities so that populations in need could gain immediate crisis housing during adverse times/conditions
Provide comprehensive services/preventions so that populations in need could be self-sufficient (with the assistance of partnerships and collaborations)
Establishing partnership
Building collaboration with local, state, and federal entities; community and faith-based organizations; educational institutions; law enforcement; and medical and health agencies.
