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.
