Possible Dreams International, Inc is a non profit organisation designed to empower communities in areas of deep and immediate need throughout the world. Through the organisation and financing of community based projects and the raising of awareness regarding issues such as endemic disease, poverty and malnutrition we aim to bring tangible hope into the lives of those for whom the flame of hope seems to flicker on the brink of extinction.
Our members derive from diverse social, ethnic and religious backgrounds, and are spread throughout the world. We are united in our belief in the dignity of every human life.
Building Bridges
At Possible Dreams International, we seek to build bridges of friendship and understanding between those who have previously been divided according to constructs of ‘first’ and ‘third’ worlds. In so doing we seek to remind ourselves and our neighbours that in truth there is only one world of which we are each a part; That the body of humanity is intimately and inseparably connected; What happens to one, affects the other.
What’s Unique About us?
We are a grassroots organisation. We work intimately with community leaders to empower and engage individuals as they walk the road to self- sufficiency. This is achieved through distinct community and family based projects. Read about recent projects here:

Furthermore we have ambassadors around the world. They hail from every walk of life: taxi drivers, doctors, graphic designers, cleaners, scientists, artists.

They work with us to bring hope to those in despair.
The Possible Dream
We know that oppressors such as poverty, disease and malnutrition are viscerally real and incredibly complex. We seek to translate the discourse regarding these issues, into the language of possibility. We have seen the far reaching impact that the tiniest pebble can have upon the surface of a pond. We seek to harness this power, as we weave possible dreams from the heart of a wounded world.

“Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
Robert F Kennedy
