About us

Founded in 1999, Dream A Dream is registered Charitable trust which seeks to empower children from vulnerable background by developing life skills and at the same time sensitizing to community through active volunteering leading to non-discriminatory society where unique differences are appreciated.

Life skills are fundamental to development of child & youth from vulnerable backgrounds and enable successful transition and integration into society. Our programs foster life skills including Interpersonal Skills, Cognitive skills, along with creativity, confidence, self-awareness and a passion for learning.

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

Life skills development at Dream A Dream is fostered through a variety of weekly programs for children referred to Dream A Dream by our partner NGOs in Bangalore communities.

Through weekly sessions, children not only learn the sport in a fun and engaging environment albeit also develop critical life skills such as team-work, creativity, problem solving, self-awareness, etc.
