About Us

         Founded in 1999, Dream A Dream empowers children from vulnerable backgrounds by developing life skills while at the same time sensitizing the community through active volunteering leading to a non-discriminatory society where unique differences are appreciated.

          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. These life skills are fundamental to child/youth development and to the successful transition into adulthood and becoming fully functioning and productive members of our society. Dream A Dream programs allow children to develop:

· Interpersonal skills including teamwork, communications, negotiation and coping skills
· Cognitive skills such as decision-making, problem solving and critical thinking
· Creativity, confidence, self-awareness and a passion for learning.

          Ours is a dream that started with a dozen young dreamers wanting to make a difference, but has developed into a professionally-run Public Charitable Trust. Today, we empower over 3000 children referred from 12 NGO partners, through an active and enthusiastic base of 1500 volunteers in Bangalore, participating with a professional and skilled Dream Team who work under the guidance of a Strong, committed and dynamic Board.
