Our approach to our work at Grihini Community College is governed by the following values and principles: 1. We focus on promoting emotional, intellectual and physical skills rather than providing physical or financial resources. 2. We cherish the model of ‘Akka’ (Sister) and animator and we respond when our Alumni return in need of assistance, creating a family environment. 3. We prioritise enabling young women to live with dignity, respect, awareness and empowerment in their own places; to resource them to make a difference in their villages rather than equipping them to ‘escape’ from village life. 4. Grihini is a ‘movement’ rather than a project or an NGO, and its future direction will be led by Grihini with the accompaniment of the Grihini Administration. 5. We focus on developing young women to be responsible leaders and raising their political and social awareness. 6. Grihini Trust works towards the sustainability of financial and human resources. Teaching and learning approaches will incorporate critical group and self-reflection, continuous improvement, innovative learning and full student participation. 7. We have equal functional responsibility irrespective of our office. 8. We care for and safeguard the health and wellbeing of our students and each other. 9. We assist women who experience violence. 10. We collaborate with other like-minded individuals and institutions who support our values to make the Grihini graduates fit for life, for society and for jobs.
