Saving Dreams
“Don’t follow where the path may lead you. Instead, go where there is no path and leave a trail”. (R. W. Emerson)
Our mission
Saving Dreams International (SDInt’l) is a non-profit association whose mission, as stated in our founding statutes, is to provide financial, material, technical and medical support for the fight against:
- Against any barriers that prevent access to primary, secondary or higher education (or vocational training if necessary), or that impede the academic progress of children and young adults in disadvantaged areas, whether in a context of conflict or geopolitical instability, population displacement, lack of economic resources, orphanhood, etc., without excluding any geographical region;
- Against famine, malnutrition and food shortages, whether due to climate change, population displacement, lack of education/schooling or family reasons.
- Against gender inequality from an early age, in access to education, employment, sport, access to resources;
- Against early marriage at a very young age;
- Against lack of access to medical resources;
- Against the consequences of any kind of social, racial and/or ethnic fragility.
Our permanent projects
The MADO Project
The project of the local association MADO has as its mission not only to provide academic training as a primary school, but also to give shelter and hope to orphaned or abandoned children, as well as to children who, due to vulnerable circumstances, have to live separated from their parents, children from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.
The Kagorogoro Child Grow Support Center Project
The second and most recent project that we support at Saving Dreams Int’l, Kagorogoro Child Grow Support Center (KCGC), was founded by Mrs Komuntale Yvonne Agnes Donal. She started out feeding the neediest children at the school where she works, until she felt she had to help more deeply. She sold half of an inherited piece of land to buy a plot of land near the area where she works as a teacher.

Our fields of action
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember that you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
(Harriet Tubman)
Child support program
Organizing a Child Support Program to enable children and young adults to continue their education, giving priority to abandoned children, orphans, and girls, in higher risk of vulnerability, especially in the rural areas.
This Child Support Program is already up and running, and we already have 10 students who, thanks to it, can attend secondary school.
Another 9 are being supported in various grades of primary school, with the commitment to take them at least until the end of secondary school.
As for the girls, not being able to access or continue their academic education implies a high probability that their family will give them away in marriage at a very young age, with the sole purpose of obtaining the dowry, an important economic contribution for a family in desperation.
