Who We Are

Get to know more about our organization

DDBPI was founded in response to Nigeria’s growing socio-political and economic challenges, particularly affecting its most vulnerable populations. We work to empower youth, women, persons with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged groups with knowledge, skills, and tools to actively participate in governance, entrepreneurship, and community development.

  • With operations across all 36 states and the FCT, DDBPI is building a nationwide movement of informed, empowered citizens who drive change from the grassroots.

To equip vulnerable and underserved Nigerians with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities they need to engage in economic, social, and civic development through capacity building, policy education, advocacy, and community mobilization.

A society where every Nigerian, regardless of background or status, is empowered to make informed decisions and contribute meaningfully to national development.
