The founding motto of DAM is ‘Divine and humanitarian service’. It functions since 1958 pursuing the aims of social and spiritual development of entire human community.

DAM provides high quality services towards unity, peace and development of social and spiritual life for the human community in general and for the disadvantaged and suffering humanity, in particular.

DAM believes engaging youth in education can bring changes to the society and to make this belief happen, DAM has taken up a number of projects on various sub sectors of education. DAM vows to work against traffickers by implementing projects like Missing Child Alert (MCA), Ashsash, Action for Combating Trafficking in Persons (ACT) etc. DAM extends its working capacity towards water purification projects, economic development projects and agriculture.
