Dostiyo’s unique approach

This Trustees’ Report is structured around the objectives which we set ourselves last year.

These objectives do not cover all of Dostiyo’s work

they are simply the key areas where it was agreed that we needed to deliver or develop.

Within these aims and objectives, there are underlying

‘givens’ on the way we work. These include putting

women’s rights at the heart of all we do, and

accountability to our stakeholders.

This report not only demonstrates Dostiyo’s ability to

grow and adapt; it also highlights the effectiveness

of our program, which combines our objectives.

Demonstrating good practice at community level lends weight to our

local, national and international lobbying. It also helps

to ensure that our work in communities is sustainable

and success can be replicated.

Change doesn’t come overnight or all at once, but every

step of progress has a profound impact on our Asian people.

Dostiyo has made long-term contributions to these changes and others, which you

can read about in this report. It is the continued support

of the staff, donors, volunteers, trustees, partners and

others in Northampton which makes this

progress possible. As Chair of Dostiyo, I thank every

one of you for your contribution: your time, energy,

loyalty, and passion to work for  Dostiyo  which women have more chances of accessing much needed services. Please click here for the 2008-2009 Report.  Please click herefor 2009-2010
