Hopes and Dreams for 2017 UNiViDA is currently providing support for children between the age of 7 and 12. In December our 12 year-olds came to us begging for the opportunity to stay another year at the project. We all agree that these students need support as they enter into their teens. This January we are looking for 50 new Dreambuilders to help us open up a new year group for teens. These young people are ready and waiting for the opportunity to learn!
