DPAT Foundation

Established about 21 years ago, 1986, the DPAT foundation is a non-governmental organization that is poised to alleviating the plight of a common man, training Girl Child, women and youth in acquiring vocational skill in relevant areas. DPAT touches all Projects and Programmes of the Government, geared towards eradicating poverty and unemployment in Nigeria. It is a conglomeration of Programmes which include food programmes, shelter, employment, healthcare, education, gender development, Agro-allied Services, and recreational services.

Ever since inception, in our own little ways, we have been vigorously pursuing what has been a strong drive for this Foundation, and that is MAKING LIFE BETTER FOR THE MASSES. Our target groups have been the vulnerable ones-women, youths, and children, and our operational base has been the grassroots.

NGOs are increasingly agents of development to both development agencies and government because of their comparative advantages. Some of these advantages include:

Their ability to reach out to people at the community level to mobilize them to identify their needs and to encourage their participation.
Their ability to achieve sustainable development through the active involvement of beneficiaries and communities.
Their ability to extend the reach of programmes to remote areas to reach marginalized groups.
Their ability to mobilize quickly in response to emergencies due to their simplified modes of operation.
Their willingness to take up issues and problems affecting the weak and voiceless.
The cost effectiveness of their operation resulting from their low overheads.
