What we do

People in DRC share stories of fleeing their homes to seek safety. They have connected with DVC Foundation to receive cash assistance, so they can meet their urgent needs.

We work alongside communities to build a more resilient, inclusive future for everyone to share

At DVC Foundation, we work hand in hand with communities to create a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future for all. We confront some of the world’s toughest challenges from the impacts of conflict and poverty to the growing threats of climate change by combining innovative solutions with the lived experiences of the people we serve.

Through collaboration and empowerment, we connect individuals and communities to clean water, quality healthcare, nutritious food, education, economic opportunities, and renewable energy—all vital elements for human dignity and development.

Our mission is to unlock the potential within every person and community, helping them adapt, rebuild, and thrive in the face of adversity. Together, we’re shaping a world where hope, equality, and opportunity are shared by everyone.

Lasting change starts with meaningful impact

A brighter future is possible when everyone has the ability to establish sustainable livelihoods and make dignified choices. We connect buyers and sellers to the market opportunities that power a flourishing local economy, and we support people as they break barriers, develop business skills, unlock financial resources, and forge a path forward.

Improving clean water access

Access to clean and safe water is a human right. We provide lifesaving support in the midst of emergencies and collaborate with local organizations to implement long-term solutions that improve water access, sanitation, and conservation. When we help ensure communities have these basic life necessities, people are better able to meet their everyday needs and take on what’s next.
