CREATIVE ACTION FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT
WHO WE ARE
CREATIVE ACTION FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT(CARD) was established on 30th November in 1987, by few like minded social workers ,professionals and young
women leaders who committed for innovative development inspired by humanist values. Our founders held the conviction that development work should be secular, as true cooperation presumes respect for differing beliefs. our founders wrote that “necessary changes should spring from communities themselves – from people at the base of society.” These convictions are still reflected in our work. We believe that human life in itsmany forms is valuable, and that people are filled with potential. Living a
life in freedom and dignity, with respect for each other and the planet, leads to greater individual well-being and fair, vibrant societies.
OUR VALUES
Fight for rights
Every human being has the right to live in freedom and dignity. People should have the freedom to believe what they want, voice their opinions, and challenge and
influence the established order
Self-determination & Diversity
People should be able to make
choices and decisions based on their own preferences and interests, regardless of their sexual orientation, ethnicity or religion. Each individual is unique,
and individual differences lead to diversity.
Equality & Social Justice
We are not the same, but we are
equal. We should be treated as such, and this should be reflected in the way our social and legal systems work against women and girls issues. What we strive for The 21st century has witnessed many positive developments that hold hope for the near future. Formal democracy has spread during the past few decades. Absolute poverty and mortality rates are on the decline. A new group of emerging economies is on the rise, and new technologies promote economic development, and boost international civic activism and innovative solutions.
Progress is, however, unequal and has come at a high cost. Economic gains are unevenly spread across countries,classes, sexes, and age groups. The current globalized system and its increasing inequalities, resources depletion, global warming, and governance failure are not sustainable in the long run.
OUR VISION
We believe that every human being has the right to live in freedom and dignity, and that we are all free to be who we are, with respect for our individual gender and sexual identity. Living such a life means feeling free to believe and say what you want, to challenge
governments and influence the established order. In exercising that freedom, we also carry the responsibility of not impinging on the freedom of others, and of
respecting the natural limitations of the earth. We believe in open societies, in which freedom and diversity are valued individually and collectively. Such a society welcomes diversity and offers
equal opportunities to all. We also believe in green societies, in which the environment and the planet’s natural resources are protected and used sustainably to the benefit of every living creature on the planet. Open and green societies are interwoven:
together they create a free, fair and sustainable development.
