Dream A Dream provides children from vulnerable backgrounds with
non-traditional educational opportunities designed to allow them to
explore, innovate and build important life skills. Vulnerable
backgrounds are environments that are unprotected and lac k
opportunities for learning.
Children at Dream A Dream come from extremely challenging and difficult circumstances. These include
• Children of migrant families
• Children of daily wage labourers
• Children living in urban slum communities
• Children who are orphaned, abandoned or runaway from home
The
children we impact come from our different partner NGOs in Bangalore,
India. Dream A Dream lays a strong emphasis on academic education and
only those children that are participating in any kind of formal and
informal educational program are eligible to attend our programs.
However, children do face challenges with attending school due to their
living environments, lack of support systems and positive role-models
and due to pressures to earn and support the family.
