YOUTH PROGRAM FOR DREAMERS WISH FOUNDATION

Dreamers Wish Foundation is a global comprehensive education-centered movement that focuses on childhood and youth education for low-income, refugee, and developing communities in Utah and abroad.

We are currently working on collaborations to serve 4 counties: Utah, Salt Lake, Weber, and Davis. Also, we have established ourselves in Africa: Dadome DA Basic Primary School k-12, volta region Ghana (600 students) and Mijomboni Primary School, Kenya (1031 students)

In 2021, we supported over 1000 pupils in Ghana and Kenya by providing hygiene kits to over 400 teenage girls as well as school essentials. This aided in over 500 senior students in Mijomboni Primary school successfuly passing their regional exams and placing amongs the 90th percentile of excellent grades in the region.

We focus on providing after-school enrichment programs for children and youth Monday-Saturday through partnerships with other local non-profit organizations with space and capacity to support our program. Enrichment programs are scheduled extracurricular classes where students can receive advanced academic instruction, get extra help with homework assignments, or discover new hobbies, interests, and activities outside the classroom setting.

Our volunteers are equipped to help school-aged children in underprivileged and underserved areas.

OBJECTIVE: Create an atmosphere to increase school attendance amongst children and adolesence. In Ghana and Kenya, child labor will decline, while attendance will rise, and grades will improve.

GOALS FOR UTAH SCHOOL CHILDREN & YOUTH

3. Provide life skills training to children and youth to help them grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
