Asians to the World recognizes Community Development as the most creative long-term solution to the problems of poverty among the grassroots and church-based efforts. This conviction is motivated by Zechariah 7: 9-10 where God commands to: "Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.".

The community development AttWorld adheres to the following principles:

Identification and maximized utilization of the resources available in every community. AttWorld believes there is a wealth of talents, abilities and skills in every community that awaits discovery and utilization. AttWorld recognizes the maximization of these human potentials and encourages community meetings that aim to uncover and develop these various talents, skills and abilities through training so that these human potentials may be used towards the general good of the community.

Community participation and collaborative efforts are vital factors in any effective community development endeavor. AttWorld believes that advocates of community development must work hand and hand with members of the community and other social institutions (i.e., government etc.) and vice versa for a community project to succeed. Furthermore AttWorld encourages community participation in the implementation stages of any community development project.

An effective community development endeavor seeks to empower individuals towards independence and self-sufficiency.
AttWorld focuses on helping members of the community to see themselves as part of the solution to their problem. AttWorld seeks to do this through equipping and empowering communities to generate solutions to their own problems so they need not depend on government programs or external groups for help.

As a facilitating organization, AttWorld hopes to empower individuals in the community to take on leadership roles and lead their community towards development.
