Welcome to D-Pat Foundation (NGO)
“DPat Foundation has helped several individuals and businesses to acquire technical know-how and has acted as a bridge connecting various government agencies such as Bank of Industry (BOI), Bank of Agriculture (BOA), National Directorate of Employment (NDE), Federal Ministry of Women Affairs (FMWA) and so on, to the grassroots women and youths which they would not have been able to reach successfully otherwise. This has helped the government achieve its set objectives of reaching the grassroots with its various programmes.
