About us

Introduction

Daachi Foundation, a non-profit organisation was set up in 2010, by a team of dedicated volunteers to guard and promote our heritage. In this short span of time, Daachi Foundation has earned recognition and appreciation, not only from the craftsmen and entrepreneurs, but also from the potential clients who are anxiously awaiting our next event. Through our exhibitions and entrepreneurs, some of whom have used it as a platform to establish their business.
