Mission Statement
The International Association for Human Values (IAHV) is committed to enhancing the quality of life for all people by building a global community based on the human values we all share in common, while celebrating the diversity of cultural and religious identities.
Through a multitude of self-awareness, education and outreach programs, IAHV aims to revive human values that transcend religious, ethnic and cultural differences. These values include a sense of belonging to a common humanity, respect and consideration for all people, compassion and non-violence, a commitment to preserving the natural environment, and a social service ethic.We believe:
All human being are equal.
Harmony in diversity.
Socio-economic development built on human values is sustainable.
Human development and socio-economic development are linked.
Responsibility with an attitude of selflessness is true empowerment.
Peace, happiness, compassion, are intrinsic nature of human beings.
Bringing out the best in individuals is the 1st step for any development.
Incorporation of human values into all aspects of life will ultimately lead to a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.
In the midst of diversity of cultures, the world is one family and one earth, with a common destiny. – Sri Sri
