OUR PEOPLE

As someone who has a parent from Ghana, Africa and the problems it faces has always been known to me. Having visited Ghana myself and seen the poverty some people live in, despite it being one of the most stable and prosperous African countries, really showed me how Africa could do with some help, no matter the size.
I feel that Dreams of Africa is different to many other organisations, as we don’t try to guilt people into doing something. Instead we raise awareness of issues that not everyone may have known about, and hope people will want to help make a difference. The fundraising we do allows people to enjoy themselves at our events while at the same time helping to make a real contribution to lives in Africa. Little Big Africa will also mean Dreams of Africa can give some people the platform to go to Uganda and directly get involved in a project that can have a lasting effect.
