Thrive was founded to work in development cooperation with strong values:
- Gender – promoting women and girls in employment, training and rights;
- Language – avoiding the binary “givers and receivers”: we all give and receive
- Open-minded – listening with knowledge but few pre-determined activities
- Respectful – recognising the expertise and ability of everyone involved
- Internationally owned – with board members in the countries of our work
- Ambitious – tackling big issues, like gender inequality and climate change
- New players – introducing new and unexpected players to development
- E-Value For Money – working with Equity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Economy
- Self-aware – understanding & acting on political debates around issues
- Sustainability – interventions which are needed once only, in each location
