Simprints exists for one purpose: impact. It drives our culture and evidence-based approach. No matter how crazy things get, we never forget why we do this.
We set super high standards because quality matters. We never cut corners when it comes to our beneficiaries. We build to last.
We push boundaries and challenge the assumptions others take for granted. We are not afraid of being shameless for social impact.
When you take on great challenges, failure is inevitable. That doesn’t scare us. The minute we get knocked down, we get straight back up. Every time.
We do whatever it takes to fight poverty. We figure out a way forward, even if it has never been done before. There is no instruction manual for impact, so we are creative and relentless.
This journey is not about us or our egos. We put mission first, then team, then self. We stay humble.
We speak up when our ethical compass is challenged. We practice transparency and radical candor. We believe that action requires integrity, and integrity requires action.
This journey is tough, but we have each other’s backs. We remember to have fun and to laugh at ourselves. We never stop learning.
