DREAM ZYPHER FOUNDATION
The Dream Zephyr Foundation (Dreamz) is a charitable organization set up in 2003 to create a sustainable fund that aims to support society’s varied humanistic needs through the provision of financial aid. Since commencing 2011, the foundation has trained its focus on issues affecting women and children.

In recognizing the integral role that women play in building the nation and the world, the foundation is dedicated to the realization of women’s dreams – to propagate the development of women through arts & culture, intellectual and academic pursuits and the cultivation of a more balanced world that alleviates gender disparity; simultaneously encouraging sensitivity to women’s needs and ultimately making a meaningful difference in their lives.

The funds are raised through the staging of various charity events throughout the year to ensure a steady stream of cash resources that will be channeled towards empowering the fairer gender with the means to achieve their life aspirations. This is done via educational funding and cash donations to non- profit institutions, driven by the sincere desire of Dreamz to create a better tomorrow.
