Purpose
Binoze is committed to making information about our programs, initiatives, and operations accessible to the public. We believe that transparency is essential for building trust, encouraging participation, and enabling stakeholders including individuals, partners, and the community to support and engage with our mission of empowering teenagers.

Binoze leadership is accountable to our board and stakeholders, and we view public access to information as a vital part of ensuring transparency and accountability. This policy ensures that information regarding our programs and operations is available, except where confidentiality is required.
