FROM THE SECRETARY'S DESK

In its journey towards sustainable development ‘SPACE’ has learnt from its experience while working with people, groups and communities that participation of all stake holders is imperative for success of any programme/project activity. The building of trust in the working environment lays the foundation stone for furtherance of achievements towards fulfilment of goals. ‘SPACE’ has witnessed happenings of both struggles and inspiring outcomes as the interest and quality of participation of the stake holders varied.

We hope and believe that ‘SPACE’ would be able to mobilize resources successfully for a substantial result in the coming years . The small success stories, we hope, would add momentum to the rate of progress. With increased participation of people, generous support from donors/funding sources, co-operation of stake holders and committed team work of ‘SPACE’ personnel would take the scale of development to a new height and thus, one day our cherished mission would be accomplished.
