Missions and Values
Mission Statement
To partner with communities in Puerto Rico to provide energy resources that will allow native Puerto Ricans to achieve a sustainable and environmentally conscious future.
Every year the island of Puerto Rico is faced with the threat of natural disasters. Hurricanes and earthquakes have created serious consequences for the island’s dilapidated power system.
Our vision is to build a future in which Puerto Ricans can have sustainable and self-reliant electrical energy. To accomplish this mission, we will work to provide solar lamps, battery-powered fans, and eventually solar panels, by fundraising and partnering with local communities and understanding their needs.
Values
Transparency
Our goal is to set ourselves apart from other organizations by being transparent with our goals, plans, financials, and partnerships.
Honesty
We strive to be truthful with everyone we work with and at every point of our journey.
Respect
As we work with individuals from different backgrounds, we commit to the respect, inclusion, and acceptance of any religion, ethnicity, race, gender identity, or culture.
Integrity
At Bori First, we pledge to stand behind our commitments, accept responsibility for our shortcomings, and hold our values at the center of every project we plan and as we learn.
