Dreams Rescue Foundation (DREF) Uganda is a national non-governmental organization founded in 2018 and working across Uganda, with strong roots in Kwania District. We focus on children and youth, especially girls affected by child marriage, teenage pregnancy, and harmful social norms. Through education, SRHR, livelihoods, child protection and advocacy, we help young people move from self-pity and poverty to dignity, confidence and opportunity.
We work closely with adolescents, parents, teachers, health workers and local leaders to co-create solutions that are inclusive, gender-responsive and sustainable.
Our mission is to inspire young people to challenge harmful norms, acquire skills and live productive lives through transformative education, SRHR, livelihoods and child protection interventions.
Help us provide school support, mentorship and safe spaces for girls at risk of child marriage and teenage pregnancy, so they can complete their education and pursue their dreams.
