DBI Foundation History
“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. But the poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty” – Mother Theresa
DBI Foundation is a God given vision birthed in 2004 to immortalize the late Mr David Bassey Ikpeme, a man who was completely given to humanitarian services and left a foot print in the sands of time. The vision to start DBI Foundation came through Miss Koko Bassey Ikpeme, after a mind pressing and soul searching lecture on Visioning and Goal setting.
