Corruption
‘the biggest weapon of mass destruction’
Each year over US$ 1 Trillion* goes
missing from the global economy
through bribes, dishonest deals
and tax evasion.
It’s called corruption.
Corruption is more than bad
business: it kills people.
YET…
Providing malaria prevention to the developing
world would only cost
$4.2 billion.
YET…
A year’s supply of life-saving medical services in
low income countries would only cost $25 billion.
YET…
The cost of eradicating Global Poverty is only 1%
of Global Income.
You cannot eradicate
systemic poverty,
unless you eradicate
systemic corruption.

Some statements to ponder
Our ethics (or lack of them) is driven by what is at the
centre of our hearts.
Whatever you are pursuing is determined by what
resides at the centre of your heart.
Whatever resides at the centre of your heart will
determine your values and ethics in life and how you
relate to the world.
 Whatever resides at the centre of your heart will
determine your view of self identity.
3 Questions
 Why do I live in a country that claims to be +70%
Christian and yet does not have Christian culture
prevailing?
 Why do you live on a continent that has vast resources
(natural and human) and yet is the begging bowl of the
world largely surviving on foreign aid?
 Why is Africa the most evangelised continent and yet
shows no evidence of societal transformation that
should be consistent with the prevalence of the truth
of the bible?

The fruit is an indication of the
heart
 “A tree is identified by it’s fruit. If a tree is good, it’s fruit
will be good. If a tree is bad, it’s fruit will be bad
 ……..For whatever is in your heart determines what you
say.
 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a
good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the
treasury of an evil heart”.
(Matthew 12:33-35)

Test my motives and my heart.” (Psalm 26:2)

The vision……..
Unashamedly Ethical envisions God releasing a wave of positive
transformation that will sweep across Africa and the World
resulting in the restoration of God’s based values and blessings
over nations and individuals.
We believe this ‘positive transformation’ will result in all people
in every nation having access to basic human services and the
opportunity to build prosperous lives for themselves and their
families while also positively contributing towards the common
good in their communities, cities and nation.
The purpose……..
To mobilize God’s people in all nations to make a stand by
signing a pledge to commit to a lifestyle of ethics, values and
clean living so that a tipping point is reached to rid the world
of the corruption and unethical practices that are fuelling
systemic poverty and social injustices in society.
The mission……..
Unashamedly Ethical is built upon three simple foundations to –
1. Challenging individuals and organizations to sign a pledge to
be unashamedly ethical;
2. Connect members through an online directory and create a
community of ethical companies, organizations and
individuals;
3. Hold signatories accountable through an Ombudsman
system.
“The ultimate measure of a man is
not where he stands in moments of
comfort and convenience, but
where he stands in times of
challenge and controversy.”
Martin Luther King (Jr.)
