- Turning DREAMS into reality... is a lot like sewing a coat.
The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) launched the DREAMS program in 2015. DREAMS stands for Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe and is active in 15 countries. Data shows that new HIV diagnoses among adolescent girls and young women have declined in all geographic areas implementing DREAMS-by as much at 40 percent.
DREAMS creates a safe space where adolescent girls and young women gather during the week and, with the help of a facilitator, share knowledge on issues that are relevant to their lives, such as gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, business creation, and education. Working with peers, DREAMS participants develop plans to make their dreams real. The DREAMS program even provides micro-grants to help the young women start businesses. All of this occurs in a supportive atmosphere that encourages confidence, solidarity, and joy.
