Inspired, Equipped and Empowered
In January 2020, the DIYDG Board and our Chief of Good came together over 3 days to co-design the future of the organisation and the goals the corporation aspires to achieve.
The strategic plan above is extracted from a collaboration of ideas the board want to see for the future and the achievable outcomes expected within the next 3 years. DIYDG were privileged enough to have the support of CEO of Wuchopperen Health Services Limited, Dania Ahwang, who guided the young board into establishing our strategic priorities for the next 3 years.
On behalf of all the team at the Deadly Inspiring Youth Doing Good, we would like to thank Mrs Dania Ahwang for her time and belief in our young people. We look forward to working closely with Wuchopperen Health Services Limited into the future.
