Empowering Youth, Supporting Seniors, and Strengthening Vulnerable Families
We recognize that youth, seniors, and vulnerable families face unique yet deeply impactful challenges. Many young people struggle with emotional and psychological pressures, while seniors — especially women — continue to experience gender-based violence and social isolation. Sadly, access to essential care, technology, and support services remains limited for many.
That’s why DCCU is dedicated to providing free counselling, psycho-educational workshops, support groups, wellness programs, and access to technology to help individuals learn, connect, and thrive. We are also deeply committed to ensuring that every girl stays in school during her menstruation period by offering menstrual hygiene education and essential sanitary products — breaking stigmas and promoting dignity, confidence, and equal opportunities.
To continue delivering these life-changing services at no cost, we rely on the compassion and generosity of donors and sponsors. Your contribution can make a lasting difference — empowering vulnerable youth and families, supporting our seniors, and helping to build stronger, more resilient communities for all.
