DORS is a British NGO working in rural Sichuan Province, China. DORS' aim is to help relieve poverty in Sichuan by implementing small-scale village-based projects that promote rural development through education, income generation, service provision (water and electricity), and environmental improvement. DORS' focus is on women and the poorest in the community.
We are working with earthquake victims NOW and all donations given here will go to our earthquake relief appeal - thank you for your generosity
DORS works exclusively in the south west of Sichuan, high up in the mountains that rise to the Tibetan plateau in the West.
For updates on the china earthquake relief effort and our part in it please go to www.dors.org.uk The charity was set up by Rose Acock, who works as one of the full time volunteers in Sichuan. From the DORS' office in Hanyuan, poverty alleviation projects are designed and implemented specifically in response to the actual needs of the farmers in the county's poorest villages.
DORS' approach is to work closely with communities to find out what assistance they need to improve their livelihoods. We believe that the farmers themselves are the people most able to understand their own situation, and to initiate change. DORS' rural development projects are integrated and sustainable, so that the benefits will complement each other.
DORS was established in June 1996 and is a registered UK charity (no. 1061133).
