Development Initiative for Social Advancement (DISA)
Being a developing country- Bangladesh has the opportunity to utilize its resources at optimum level. The best and effective utilization of agriculture and human resources can uplift the poor community of Bangladesh. For forwarding the disadvantaged and marginalized poor people of Bangladesh from the loop of poverty, many initiatives had been taken in early 90’s. Different Development Institutes, organizations, NGOs have been formed in that decade. Like others initiatives, DISA was formed in 1993 by a group of social workers under the leadership of its founder Chief Executive Md. Shahid Ullah; with the programs of economic and social development of Bangladesh. Soon after its emergence, DISA proves that, it was not founded like ordinary organizations, but with some exceptions, sustainable and creative mission. Since its inception in 1993, DISA passed a long glorious journey; a journey for fighting with poverty and for economic development. Now DISA has been working in 19 districts of Bangladesh in 102 branches, for the rural people, especially women and children of the poor households with the objectives of poverty alleviation, Awareness building, violence reduction and empowerment of women to uplift their socio-economic status.
