Aid Meridian 8 Principles

1. Health Equity and Human Dignity

We affirm that access to health care is a human right. Aid Meridian is committed to enabling equitable medical support for individuals and communities facing systemic barriers, regardless of location, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic status.

2. Local Empowerment and Ethical Partnership

We support and amplify the work of qualified, community-trusted health organisations. Our role is to fund, not control—ensuring aid is delivered by those with local expertise and cultural insight, fostering dignity, trust, and sustainability.

3. Transparency and Donor Accountability

We uphold the highest standards of governance, compliance, and fiscal transparency. Our funding structures are audited, segregated, and donor-facing, ensuring every dollar supports mission-aligned, evidence-based outcomes.

4. Non-Operational Neutrality

As a non-operational and apolitical grantmaker, Aid Meridian avoids mission creep. We do not deploy staff or manage programs directly; instead, we focus on bridging support where it is needed most with clarity, humility, and strategic intent.

5. Respect for Sovereignty and Cultural Contexts

We work with integrity across diverse cultures and nations, respecting the autonomy and practices of local communities. Aid Meridian seeks to enhance—not overwrite—local systems of care.

6. Responsiveness to Medical Need

Our support is flexible and needs-driven. From maternal health and chronic disease to primary care and diagnostics, we adapt our grantmaking in response to verified need, as identified by partners and communities themselves.

7. Zero Tolerance for Corruption

In line with global standards (including UNGC Principle 10), Aid Meridian maintains zero tolerance for corruption, fraud, or misuse of funds. Our governance frameworks ensure robust due diligence, especially in overseas aid contexts.

8. Public Awareness and Shared Responsibility

Beyond funding, we foster public understanding of global and local health inequities. Through campaigns and events, we aim to build a culture of shared responsibility and informed giving within the communities we serve.
