Empowering Children Through Education
Dream Foundation Uganda: Integrated Development & Fundraising Plan
1. Overview
The Dream Foundation Uganda is launching a multifaceted development initiative to uplift vulnerable children, street youth, and widows through education, housing, and sustainability-focused projects. This plan integrates website modernization, a crowdfunding campaign, and the international EIP volunteer program.
2. Project Components
2.1 Science & Technology School
Build a self-sustaining Science & Technology School offering nursing, midwifery, IT, and web/app development.
Teacher in a Box (TBI) Installation
The project will integrate the Teacher in a Box program to offer quality, offline-accessible education. This includes academic content, vocational training, and multimedia resources.
TIB is a huge interactive library of community and academic resources that can be accessed without internet. Yes, NO internet!!
Why is it needed
In many rural villages in developing countries there is no internet, and even in places where there is internet it may be unreliable, or the cost limits people’s use. Teacher in a Box has a huge positive impact where there are limited teaching resources or teachers with limited training or education themselves. Our Teacher in a Box servers support self-paced learning as well as classroom teaching.
Thanks to the amazing generosity and efforts of not-for-profit educational software developers, our own computer donors and our volunteer workers, we are able to supply Teacher in a Box pre-loaded with a huge range of quality educational and training materials at minimal cost.

Days for Girls operates in Uganda as a cottage industry to give women
employment so Isaac will need to buy the sanitary products over there in
Kampala.
This initiative will provide:
This component is essential to ensure girls stay in school, feel confident and safe, and are empowered to continue their education without interruption.
