Founding Sources of Disabled Development Society (DDS)
Disabled Development Society (DDS) was established through the generous support of local philanthropic individuals and business organizations in Bangladesh. These community-minded contributors played a vital role in providing the initial resources and encouragement needed to create a platform dedicated to empowering people with disabilities. Their ongoing involvement has helped DDS grow into a trusted organization serving disabled persons across the country.
In addition to local philanthropy, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) funds from various companies have significantly supported DDS’s efforts. These funds have enabled the organization to implement diverse programs focused on education, vocational training, health, and social inclusion. By partnering with responsible businesses, DDS benefits from sustained financial support while businesses fulfill their commitment to social welfare.
The Government of Bangladesh is another important founding source that continues to strengthen DDS. Through official recognition, funding, and collaboration, the government helps DDS align its programs with national development goals. This partnership ensures that DDS’s initiatives contribute effectively to improving the lives of disabled persons on a broader scale.
Together, these founding sources—local philanthropists, business organizations, CSR funds, and government support—create a solid foundation that empowers DDS to pursue its mission of promoting self-reliance, dignity, and equal rights for all people with disabilities in Bangladesh.
