We primarily serve rural and resettled communities, marginalized groups, orphans and vulnerable children and women in Zimbabwe and other countries as determined by the Trustees in their sole discretion.

We recognise that human well-being [free from poverty and disease] is the ultimate goal of all development efforts.

The key to development is empowerment, and WAPA is an instrument of that empowerment which removes development constraints and gives power.
Every person has a right to education and health, these rights are critical in removing constraints to empowerment. 

Sustainable development recognises those in need as partners and provides equal opportunities for all despite differing age, gender, ethnic, religious, cultural, political or other backgrounds.

The development of children and empowerment of women and girls are fundamental cornerstones to the future and overall development of any nation.
We recognize that families, communities and natural resources are gifts which should be properly managed to ensure effective empowerment.
We value integrity and transparence in all spheres of our work.

We recognise that the person in need should not be harmed further or his environment diminished.

The organisation is committed to professionalism and being an efficient and reliable channel for donors to beneficiaries.
The organisation monitors and periodically evaluates and redefines the effectiveness and performance of its policies, employees and the organisation as a whole.

Personnel is treated with respect, fairness and equity incorporating women and the disabled of our society in all levels of its operations, whilst ensuring required levels of competence.

Empowerment is not just setting free [removing constraints] from poverty and disease, but giving power over poverty and disease. People’s incomes and wellbeing are determined to a greater extent by their underlying resource endowments [natural, capital, skills etc].
