The Dream Sponsor Story….

Dream Sponsors, Inc., has chosen to help the children of Kenya for many reasons, including the enormous needs of, and urgency for, the millions of children orphaned by AIDS and other illnesses. Further, the organization founder, Carla B. Neumann, mentors a Kenyan professional who develops youth projects and currently serves as caretaker for five orphan youth in Kenya. The founder has toured various regions of Kenya and other African countries and has witnessed firsthand the plight of the children.

After two years of online communication, she visited her mentee and was inspired by the life stories of a group of orphan youth, her mentee, and the Headmaster of Madaraka Primary School in Kenya. She decided to begin this official sponsorship program. While recruiting board members, her journey led her to meet Fiston Kahindo, a native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo now living in the USA. Kahindo was orphaned at age 8, fled his country on foot, and survived the harsh conditions of a refugee camp in Kenya for six years. He now studies at a private South Florida university after receiving educational sponsorships and hopes to make a difference in the lives of youth in Africa. We believe these established relationships between professionals in Kenya and the United States provide a trustworthy and credible pathway to making dreams come true for Kenyan youth.
