Why FOCIL needs support ??
Most of the environmental issues and problems root from one source,
the human being. FOCIL invests its energy to develop human’s
thought, action, habit, and character through education to make
them more aware about their responsibility on this earth and
participate in responsible actions.
That efforts will not become real without sustainable funding of the
organization/NGO. Therefore Focil develops its social business plan
that may ensure the availability of budget. Supports from donors are
strategic to ensure the realization of this social business plan.
