The PATRIP Foundation was set up in November 2011 by the German state-owned KfW Development Bank on behalf of the German Federal Foreign Office, which remains PATRIP’s largest donor.
The PATRIP Foundation works together with trusted NGO partners to support border communities facing challenges of isolation, violence, and poverty.
PATRIP’s overall goal is to contribute to more stability in fragile regions, in terms of secured access to public services, as well as cross-border trade and community integration.
To achieve this, PATRIP’s projects mainly focus on building vital infrastructure and facilitating community dialogue in remote and fragile regions.
