Access and Service Costs

Ensuring services remain accessible to vulnerable youth.
No fees for youth living with HIV accessing health services
Most counseling and peer support services are free
Some empowerment and agriculture programs may include small participation fees
Subsidies and support are available based on economic need

Why Our Services Stand Out

Integrated, peer-driven, and designed around real youth needs.

Most organizations focus on one issue at a time.

Dream Village integrates:

– health support
– economic empowerment
– sustainable livelihoods

This creates long-term pathways for independence and resilience rather than short-term interventions.
