There is a power in creating networks of non-likeminded individuals WIP believes in the value of creating positive personal and working relationships among individuals with diverse views, backgrounds and political perspectives. These relationships should be underpinned by a sense of empathy, and respect for divergent points of view as well as a personal sense of humility among all involved. Co-operation WIP believes it can best achieve its goals and objectives by actively collaborating with like-minded organizations, in particular our sister organization SAWIP.
