Project Summary

We have a passion to change South Africa one child at a time. By changing a child we touch a family, by changing a family we touch a community, by changing a community we touch the province. The next step is South Africa!

The training we provide is primarily focused around Children and supporting Children. Keep The Dream 196 presents quality training and ongoing support to parents, caregivers, professional staff e.g. social workers and teachers, Community Based Organization’s (CBO’s) such as Home Based Care and Drop In Centres, as well as partnerships with other NGO’s.

More About what we do
