Our mission, our values

Print ›

We help look for the missing people and offer support to their families. We are a group of people united by common values: concern for other people’s well-being and safety, respect for human and citizen rights and respect for people’s right of self-determination.

We never judge people’s attitudes, behaviour or choices. We constantly strive to expand our knowledge and experience in order to bring relief to those who suffer and successfully deal with each reported case.

We identify ourselves with the ideas of liberal democracy and citizen society. All our services are free of charge.
