Delivering quality development programmes since 1958.
History
In 1995 a group of experienced development workers put their commitment to Bangladesh into practice by establishing Dhaka Ahsania Mission (DAM), an independent UK-registered charity.
DAM UK was established to support the work of partner Dhaka Ahsania Mission, a leading charity in Bangladesh where it has delivered quality development programmes since 1958.
