About us

At Divine Act Charitable Trust (DACT), we believe every life matters. Our mission is to uplift vulnerable children, empower widows, and restore dignity to families living in extreme poverty.

Our Story

Our Humble Beginning

Founded in response to the growing challenges faced by vulnerable populations in Nigeria, DACT (Development and Assistance Charity Team) began as a grassroots movement driven by compassion, faith, and a commitment to social transformation. From small-scale outreaches to fully-structured programmes, our journey has been shaped by a deep desire to restore dignity, hope, and opportunity to the underserved.

What started with feeding a few hungry families has grown into a multi-impact initiative reaching orphans, widows, street children, people with disabilities, and entire communities in need. Over the years, we’ve launched sustainable interventions across education, health, economic empowerment, clean water access, emergency relief, and more. Our work is rooted in love for humanity, guided by faith, and powered by the unwavering belief that lasting change begins with one act of kindness at a time.

Through active community participation, strategic partnerships, and relentless dedication, DACT continues to be a beacon of hope—lighting the path from vulnerability to empowerment.
