Ki baze sou sa a nou angaje nan kliyan nou yo ak kwè nan respekte ak konprann bezwen yo, nou ka fè efò satisfè atant yo; bay efikas, bon jan kalite sèvis. Nan Sèvis Kominotè Dyaspora nou fyè de kontribisyon enpòtan pou remake nan divès kominote epi nou angaje nan konsèp patenarya, entegrite ak egalite pou tout moun. Nou sèvi kòm yon pon pou kliyan nou yo; ede defann bezwen yo ak sipòte yo sou vwayaj pèsonèl yo nan otonòm. Nou sèvi yon popilasyon trè divès ki bay sante esansyèl ak pwogram sipò. Nou fè misyon nou pou kenbe estanda ki pi wo nan dwa moun, egalite ant sèks, aksè nan swen sante ki pa diskriminatwa ak opòtinite pou fanmi ki gen revni ki ba ak imigran nan Central Brooklyn. Nou sipòte ak konprann prensip anti-rasis ak anti-povrete.
DCS ISTWA
Te fonde an 1981, Diaspora Community Services (DCS) se yon milti-sèvis ki baze nan Brooklyn ak milti-kiltirèl 501 (c) 3 san bi likratif ki bay sipò konplè pou rezidan ki pa gen anpil revni, imigran, ak moun ki malad kwonik. DCS sèvi kèk 10,000 chak ane atravè twa sit pwogram nan Vil New York. Anplwaye pa pwofesyonèl ki gen eksperyans nan sektè sante ak sèvis sosyal ak sipòte pa yon Konsèy Administrasyon devwe divès tankou kominote yo vibran nou sèvi, DCS bay pwogram solid ki vize ki pi frajil nan kominote nou yo.

Pwogram DCS yo adrese kòz rasin defi kliyan nou yo ap fè fas, otorize fanmi ak revni ki ba pou simonte obstak nan byennèt yo ak otosifizans yo. Depi lè li te jwenn estati san bi likratif an 1991, DCS (ansyen pwogram yo rele fanm ayisyen an) kontinye konsantre sou defi ak inegalite ki gen enpak sou fanm ak tifi ak jèn nan kominote nou yo. Soti nan reyentegrasyon refijye ayisyen yo nan fen ane 1980 yo pou adrese aparisyon kriz VIH la an 1990, DCS te konsantre sou asire kliyan yo gen aksè a benefis ki nesesè anpil, konsèy, edikasyon, plasman lojman ak referans bay anpil patnè òganizasyonèl ki kalifye nou yo.
(...)
Nou te aplike pwogram jèn ki baze sou prensip devlopman jèn nan edikasyon, otonòm ak konsantre sou byen jèn nou yo olye de defisi yo.
(...)
Sèvis pwogram aktyèl yo gen ladan aksè a bon jan kalite sèvis sante, lojman ki bay sipò, edikasyon jèn yo, ak sèvis sipò sosyal yo kritik pou satisfè bezwen debaz yo pandan y ap konsantre sou enpak povrete. DCS satisfè chak kliyan kote yo ye an tèm de ladrès endividyèl, finans, sante ak bezwen; bay sipò transfòmasyon endividyèl pou ede yo reyisi.
From Haitian Women’s Program to Community-Wide Impact
Since gaining nonprofit status in 1991, DCS (formerly the Haitian Women’s Program) has grown to meet the evolving needs of our communities—while maintaining a sharp focus on the challenges and inequities that impact women, girls, and youth.
Our journey:
- Late 1980s: Resettling Haitian refugees
- 1990s: Responding to the HIV crisis
- Present day: Delivering comprehensive services that tackle root causes of community challenges.
Throughout our history, we have connected individuals and families with vital benefits, counseling, education, housing support, and referrals to trusted partners.
Our approach
DCS programs are designed to address the root causes of the challenges our clients face. We empower families and individuals to overcome barriers to their health and well- being. We meet clients where they are—considering individual needs, skills, financial realities, and health concerns—to provide transformative one-on-one support. Our youth programming centers on education and empowerment, following a youth development model that focuses on building on young people’s strengths rather than their deficits.
