Ubuntu

Ubuntu, the bi-monthly newsletter released by Doosra Dashak highlights the recent happenings in the organization as well as in other NGOs working for similar cause. Ubuntu is word of Xhosa language (from South Africa) which means “I am because we are”. It is used for referring to a way of life based on values of respect, caring, sharing and solidarity – currently seen as an alternative to values that promote individualistic goals.
We at Doosra Dashak believe in growing together and value our partners as much as ourselves. For us, victory is not a result of an individual’s achievements but is the outcome of several like-minded people working for a common goal. Ubuntu, at Doosra Dashak, is a platform for our partners for sharing their ideas and experiences that help us evolve better and continually inspire us to achieve our goals.
