5 Principles in Tzu Chi's International Relief works:

  1. Directness: We make sure that relief supplies are distributed directly into the hands of victims without going through a third party organization.
  2. Priority: There are a lot of victims and disasters in the world, and our resources are very limited. In order to serve the neediest communities, we do proper studies and surveys.  This way we offer our help and rebuild homes for the victims in the most devastated areas.
  3. Respect: We respect the victims' lifestyles, customs, culture and traditions. We distribute relief supplies with gratitude and without expecting to receive anything in return.  We also give high regard to victims' dignity.
  4. Timeliness: We provide victims with what they need when they need it the most. Though our resources are limited, their hearts will be warmed.
  5. Conservation: We fully utilize every single dollar that people have donated.
