History of Lumina Foundation for Integral Human Development, Inc.

Founded in 2016 under the leadership of Mr. Clarence del Castillo, MBA, Lumina Foundation for Integral Human Development, Inc. was established as a beacon of transformative learning and community engagement. Recognizing the need to bridge academic research with real-world impact, the foundation was conceived as a non-stock, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals in their scholarly pursuits and fostering meaningful community partnerships.
