Blue Dragon's mission is to provide exceptional care to Vietnamese children and families in crisis while creating long-term change for a better world. Blue Dragon works according to the following values: - Respect, not pity: The children we work with are treated with at least the same respect that we would treat our own sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. - Development, not charity: Our work is to help children develop fully as they grow, through providing a broad range of experiences and opportunities. Rather than simply provide a handout, we provide a hand up for those who choose to better their circumstances and themselves. - Empowerment, not dependency: Our role is to provide opportunities for children to pursue as individuals, rather than to force our views or values on to the children. - Collaboration, not control: Our staff work alongside the children and their families, so that the beneficiaries are involved in all stages of our programs, rather than simply being recipients of charity. - Massive interventions, not quick-fix solutions: We tackle the problem of poverty from every angle, rather than focusing on one obvious cause or effect. Our interventions may take years, as we persist until we are successful.

We work to drive long-term, sustainable change for animals, people, and the environment through a range of education programmes for children, consumers, and professionals. The award-winning programmes, recognised by the UN, drive positive and sustainable long-term change in Asian societies, helping people to understand and appreciate the importance of the interdependence of animals, people, and the environment. Education helps to increase awareness and understanding of animal sentience and interconnectivity of all living things - something which can be lacking in parts of Asian society owing to a complex range of historical, political, and socio-economic factors.

Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.
