Our Impact

Established in 2002, we’ve played a pivotal role in supporting local foundations across Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. At ASTI, our impactful partnerships include collaborations with the United Nations and the British Government, engaging in transformative projects spanning Pakistan, Uganda, Nepal, and Cambodia.

Our commitment to change is deeply rooted in evidence-based research, forming the bedrock of our advocacy and awareness initiatives. Through our efforts, we’ve contributed to legislative changes in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Cambodia, and the UK, resulting in a significant decline in corrosive violence across these nations.

Recognising our work, Thomson Reuters Foundation honored us with the Impact Award for our role in shaping UK law, specifically focusing on stringent controls over the sale of corrosive substances.
