DHAN Foundation
Development of Humane Action (DHAN) Foundation, a professional development organisation, was initiated on October 2, 1997. It brings highly motivated, educated young women and men to the development sector. They would make new innovations in development to root out poverty from the country. The Foundation works to make significant changes in the livelihoods of the poor through innovative themes and institutions.
Our Partners
Working in partnership towards a common goal generates new learning and solutions. We cherish collaboration as our core value because the collaborative process enables DHAN and our partners to combine our complementary knowledge skills and resources, making it possible for us to accomplish much more than we can on our own.
