The 2011–12 Annual Report records a year of bold, practical experiments in how social programmes could grow without losing their purpose. At its centre is LABS-S, DRF’s attempt to recast its flagship employability programme as a not-for-profit social business, recovering part of its costs so that more young people could be reached with the same donor support. The report does not present this transition as effortless; it captures the questions, early responses and partnerships surrounding a model that was still being tested. Alongside it, PwD LABS adapts training tools and employer engagement to bring young people with visual, hearing and locomotor disabilities into mainstream work. F-LABS takes a similarly practical approach to rural livelihoods, combining short training modules, technology and credit for small farmers. Read this edition for an important turning point: DRF exploring how sustainability, inclusion and scale could reinforce one another rather than remain competing ambitions over time.
