OUR BACKGROUND

Desirous of the need to form a social group for our common interest. Conscious of the benefits to be derived from such social groups like Periodical relaxation and stress free activities, five ladies started DIVAS on November 2005 as a social and investment group. A few months later, the group had grown to nine members and realized their common interest to philanthropic work; they decided to constitute themselves to form a CIG that was registered on the 11th June 2007 with registration number SW/GP/29/07/6036.
