challenges of communication gaps. This where <strong>DPat Foundation, <\/strong>known for its active roles in community and grassroots works, comes in. Aware that many communities within the FCT were unaware of the FADAMA Cares Programme, the President\/Founder, DPat Foundation, Elder Mrs. Patience Ardey put her team together to reach out to the communities with this news.The foundation ensured that grassroots farmers and rural women were informed of this and their data were captured on behalf of FADAMA, according to the needs of each the farmer and women. After series of screening by FCT FADAMA, the farmers were called in batches and given the agricultural and farm input to their delight and amazement.
