Preamble
The Patrick Iyere Foundation (PATIF) is set up in memory of Patrick Oriabure Iyere who lost a gallant battle to a heart disease but not without living his footprints in the sand and making notable impact, it is that impact we hope to carry on. For those who know Patrick well, he had a desire (passion) for helping people, he loved willingly, he gave generously and he served loyally. Patrick had no biases and he was known to reach out to all and was dearly loved by all.
