Better Family Life, Inc.’s Values

FAMILY
We believe a cohesive family is the foundation for every human being’s development. It endeavors to rehabilitate individuals on a complete cultural, educational, social, and economic level by helping them become self-sufficient and contributing members of society.

CULTURE
We believe that the self-conscious means by which a people creates itself, celebrates itself, and introduces itself to history and humanity is the primary route to personal, family, and group growth and sustainability.

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
We place a high degree of importance on the social and economic elevation of low and moderate income families, disadvantaged populations, and those who are financially stable, as proven by our record of achievements since 1983.

INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILTIY
We have an unwavering commitment to integrity and accountability in all of our endeavors.
