Dreams Charity foundation (DFC) started as a dream of a young lady at her teenage age trying to provide launch for her less privileged friends at her primary education level. She went as far as stealing coins from her mom to pay for food for her friends. As she grew up with a very sympathetic heart, she decided to help provide basic needs for kids and grown ups who need help. At her 20's, in 2015, she decided to form a team of very committed individuals with same interests and passion to help the needy in different fields of life. It was a DREAM for her to get this realized with baby steps, then came the birth of DREAMS CHARITY FOUNDATION. Dreams came as the need to help provide basic needs for underprivileged kids, mentor them with the hope of building a better future for children. Dream is also aimed at developing disadvantaged communities through medical education and technology which is a potent force in driving economic, social and educational reforms. Dreams Charity Foundation hopes to build a better world by impacting the lives of many and help them meet up with basic standard of living. What we do.

• Finding Shelter: No matter what form of shelter there is, it's always HOME. Shelter is very important for street children for having a touch of homely atmosphere. It is imbibed in a child's gene to have home with parents around them. So when they are abandoned out of home due to financial reason or due to circumstances beyond their control, they become rude, violent, etc, and it is shelter over their heads that gives them some certainty in their lives. The Dream team believe that if you provide a kid with food , water , shelter, affection, support and most importantly LOVE , they draw the conclusion that there is HOPE for life. This department seeks to identify homeless kids and find a home for them with follow-ups on their well being. DCF Members are very focused on helping kids meet their dreams.
• Medical Mission: Otherwise known as "health education", is a charitable arm of Dreams Charity foundation. Health education is important for any successful disease control strategy as it serves as an empowering means to increase awareness of global issues. DCF is focus on preventive intervention that can save many people from getting or dying from diseases that can be prevented or cured. Most often disadvantaged communities do not have the education about the intervention, and do not have enough money to pay for them or cannot access the preventives intervention. The dream team comes in to educate disadvantaged communities to help in disease control, for lack of health education and access makes preventing disease very difficult in our local communities. Taking into consideration many researches and vast knowledge our team has on some prevalent conditions like; high blood pressure ( BP), malaria, typhoid, Alzheimer, diabeticsand other preventive and curable illnesses, DCF's medical team will go a long way to educate the public on ways to prevent some diseases. We will also supply items our disadvantaged communities and underprivileged kids will need such as; mosquito nets, medical check-ups, drugs and other required items.
• Technology: Our disadvantaged communities and under privileged kids face several unique challenges, information technology alone cannot solve all problems, but it can be part of the solution. The Dream team believes technology can empower children in our local communities. Over the decades, technology has transcended poverty, race, and economics to become a driving force in the lives of people around the world, so why not impact our local communities?. In our local communities today , it is common among kids and grown ups to have basic computer knowledge mostly at high schools or university level. We hope to make a change in the panel of computer skills as we bring our finest information technology specialists to teach our less privileged kids basic computer skills as a powerful developmental tool. Understanding that the children are growing up in a world where online communication are fundamental to the way that the communities learn and develop. Technology is a potent force in driving economic social, political and educational reforms. Knowing that our local communities cannot stay passive to technology, educational reforms is occurring through the world and one of the tenets is the introduction and integration of basic technology in the educational system. DREAM will go a long way to provide equipments to achieve its technology goals. That is the DREAM
