Deborah Circle Ministry (DCM) is a faith-based nonprofit organization headquartered in Kansas, USA. It began as a mentorship initiative focused on helping women maximize their potential, live with purpose, and become agents of positive influence in their communities.

Today, the ministry has expanded its reach to support low-income women in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia through targeted economic empowerment programs.

Together, we are planting seeds of hope, opportunity, and change — one woman, one family, and one community at a time.
