This is my pleasure to announce publication of the Website of DISA in 2008. The year can be termed as the most successful year for all of us in the organization. It was a nice escalation point for us as all of our programs, including the micro credit and child related ones, got momentum.

expanded in all aspects; disbursement and recovery, savings generation and geographical expansion. We can now think about more sustainable micro-credit program. Recognizing the importance of child development for a nation we want to have a more comprehensive integrated child development programs in the future. Thanks to Save the Children (Sweden-Denmark) for their continued and extended support and UCEP- Bangladesh and Manusher Jonno for their partnership with us.

PKSF, Bangladesh Bank, CODEC, MAC Foundation, NGO Forum, IOM, USAid extended their support to our programs during the year. We will continue to strengthen our relationships with them and also pledged to work more earnestly, honestly and professionally.    

DISA started working in Comilla, Bangladesh in 1993 in response to the credit needs of the rural poor. Since then, DISA’s primary strategy has been to identify the needs of our society and to provide financial, advisory and other supports to mitigate the sufferings of them, specially the poor women, through various projects.

Our programs are so designed that they aim to empower women by providing financial assistance so that they can engage themselves in income generating activities. We closely monitor the progress, and provide advisory and training services in full extent.  Besides, we extend in our credit areas with health, education, sanitation environment, nutrition services and other efforts to make it integrated, result-based and goal- oriented.   

I want to convey my warm gratitude to all of our friends, especially     our staff members, who play the central role in making our efforts successful and taking the donors, and other concerns in the journey with us.
