What People Say

Reckon yourself to be a Changemaker

It was a wonderful learning experience for me to serve as an intern for the Disha Foundation. I learned throughout the time that it is vital that we assist those from lower socioeconomic population. It was a closely examining daily issues is a completely different experience than reading about them. Additionally, I need to mention that the NGO is doing fantastic work and has changed the lives of informal sector worker with their initiative of Migration Resource centre.

It was the most valuable learning that I experienced, till makes me proud. Disha Foundation, a non profit NGO which helps the marginalized social groups. Our work were mainly to conduct survey on social economic status of migrants in Siliguri and aware the underpriviledged people about the benefits/work they can avial. I got to know the reality of the world, life is not easy for everybody, they were working so hard to place food on the table yet when we approached them they were always smiling and happy which made me really speechless. I am grateful for this oppoptunity that my university and Disha Foundation gave me to understand the realistic world.

As a beneficiary of this NGO's programs, I can say that they have made a significant impact on my life. Their education and empowerment initiatives have given me the tools and resources to build a better future for myself and my family.
