What we stand for
Mission
The Netherlands Refugee Foundation provides life-saving assistance to people affected by conflict and violence. The Netherlands Refugee Foundation provide assistance regardless of religion, political views, ethnicity, nationality, gender and sexual orientation. The Netherlands Refugee Foundation is impartial and independent.
Vision
The Netherlands Refugee Foundation accomplishes its mission by providing emergency assistance to refugees and displaced persons in crises around the world and brings the plight of refugees and displaced persons to the attention of the Dutch public.
The Netherlands Refugee Foundation works based on its own assessment of human needs and pays particular attention to refugees and displaced persons who are out of the public eye and are difficult to reach. The Netherlands Refugee Foundation works in partnership with several carefully chosen, international and local, implementing organisations and makes financial resources and expertise available to these partners.
Core values
The Netherlands Refugee Foundation always takes the individual human being, and thus the human dimension, as its starting point. The Netherlands Refugee Foundation is steadfast, solution-oriented and flexible. The Netherlands Refugee Foundation encourages innovation and is open to new ideas.
We value openness and critical thinking and seek to continually learn and improve. The Netherlands Refugee Foundation often works in challenging circumstances and takes security very seriously. We are particularly vigilant in protecting those seeking refuge from all forms of (sexual) exploitation and abuse.
Employees can expect a safe working environment in which they are heard, feel welcome and are treated with integrity.
