Funding Our Work

Historically, Divine Benevolent Care Organization has funded its community projects through local sourcing, including contributions from corporate organizations, religious bodies, philanthropists, friends, family, and our executive director.

We are now actively seeking funding partnerships, both locally and internationally, with donor organizations. This vital support will enable us to expand our reach and address the root causes of vulnerability stemming from parental loss, chronic diseases, HIV/AIDS, communal crises, cultism, oil pollution, and environmental degradation.
