Every child has a basic right to education, health, nutrition, recreation and protective environment. Unfortunately, there are many children around us who are deprived of these basic rights. When we see helpless, destitute children around us it struck the chord within us. But there is a need of greater conscious efforts to provide these children a better future.

In 1980 the organization started Dreamland, A home for the children in need of care and protection, in Kerwadi village in Parbhani district. Maharashtra. It is the first children home in the region. Since last 42 years, dreamland Steve’s to provide institutional care to orphan and destitute children. The main thrust is to ensure overall development of children who are deprived of normal childhood rights.

The concept.

Dreamland is a concept for wellbeing of children. Dreamland is a comprehensive, creative space for destitute children coming from poor or broken families. The children are provided with HOME , residential facilities to pursue their future with dignity and confidence with hope and passion for life.

Two types of children are admitted here, those who have no one to take care of them, or those who cannot be taken care of by their mother or father. Children from 6 years to 18 years stay here in Swapnbhumi. We take care of 70-80 children in total. Some children live at dreamland, some are out for higher education.

Government grants  are available to raise these children, but it is still meager. Rs.2000/  for each child per month. And this is for everything in it. That means child care-food-living, clothing-sickness-education and all the development of children, as well as the staff required for this work...all in this two thousand. But we are spending at least Rs.6000/ per month for each child to do all this.

We meet this cost by collecting donations  from people and. Children's development is not just about living and eating. It required  a lot more than that. Good quality psychiatrists are needed, good quality education system is needed, coaching system is needed to play various sports. Children need loving companions to take care of them. Apart from this, there are huge expenses like, expenses for higher education of children, construction, necessary equipment etc.

Swapnabhoomi is not limited to only 50-60 children or only Kerwadi. Dreamland is a concept for wellbeing of children. As mentioned earlier, It is a project. There is a system to help the needy boys and girls. Many villages in the area do not have schools after 7th grade.  Hence the education of students from poor families likely to discontinue, especially girls. Parents do not want to send 14-year-old girls outside the village for education.

At the same time, if we do not help the boys and girls of poor families who have completed 10th-12th standard for higher education, they cannot study further, it is necessary to help them for education. All such boys and girls are considered under dream land project.

 There are many boys and girls from the surrounding villages, and it is difficult for them to complete  their education if we do not help them. We want to help all such boys and girls to continue and complete their education.

So under Dreamland, swapnbhumi project, we are supporting several boys and girls of poor families in higher education. In future we have to expand our limits and ready to support hundreds of such students for their bright future.
