» We will always act in the long-term interest of the children.

» Accountability and transparency is paramount; CDP ensures that we are financially secure stewards of your donated funds as we reach out to those in need.  All donations are tax deductible and used for the purpose for which they are intended. All financial records are secured and available for viewing by any interested party.

» Fund raising can be stressful.  Prayer keeps us positive and calls to mind the mission behind the money, and reconciles misunderstandings.  It overcomes fear in those who ask and softens the hearts of those who give.  This is why we believe prayer is an integral part of success.

» We take a comprehensive approach to the well being of our children and plan to have an ever expanding base of programs and services.

» Partnerships with other programs and individuals that have similar values create symbiotic relationships beneficial to all.

» Our board of advisors exists to make informed decisions in an accountable manner and evaluate/adjust our programs as needed.

Each of these values is essential to MIO and will be upheld with integrity as we go forward.  Our volunteers and partners hold a vested interest in improving their communities and have a similar humanitarian interest in the children we serve.
