EMPOWERING THE IMPOVERISHED
Equipping communities with life-changing solutions to overcome inequality and poverty.
Our objective
Through social business, microfinance, and education, Dana Asia empowers communities to alleviate poverty, access resources, and build more equitable futures.
Our multifaceted role
We act as a funder and adviser, partnering with local NGOs, cooperatives, and community groups to implement projects that empower communities towards sustainable impact.
As a funder
We seek funding opportunities to match emerging needs within impoverished communities. Whether private donor funds, CSR funding or grant opportunities, our team strives to match appropriate funds to the needs on the ground.
As an adviser
We use our local knowledge and experienced on-the-ground team to advise donors and implementing partners on the development of sustainable projects that fit the donor’s expectations and meet the needs of the community.
As a social business incubator
We design unique and exciting business models that address specific community needs and implement pilots through experienced in-country partners. Once the model is refined, it can be scaled to increase impact and replicated in new communities.
Social Empowerment
Capacity building and expert-led training in livelihood skills, business management, financial literal and personal and professional development areas.
Economic Viability
High-engagement social investment in small businesses and guidance towards viability and sustainability, while advocating for fair-trading throughout the supply chain.
Environmental Sustainability
Promoting business models that have high-regard for environmental preservation to protect local ecology while improving food security.
