THE SPACE
Expanding horizons, changing lives
When I first came across =DREAMS, I was moved by its mission to provide a residential boarding school exclusively for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. I was inspired by how the campus would provide an environment where the children could be empowered and aspire for a better life.
The RealVantage team is privileged to be able to conceptualise THE SPACE, a creative and digital space within the campus where the children can explore, create and express themselves in a meaningful way. Our hope is that this space would help them expand their horizons and discover their potential.
Every child deserves a comfortable, secure, and caring environment
"While 90% of Singapore households live in homes of their own, corporates and the community must look to how they can help the 10% who may need socio-economic support, especially with their children's holistic development."
Empowering promising and aspiring children to break out of poverty by providing them with opportunities to fulfill their potential in a safe, learning, residential environment.
We share the same
- Providing tailored support to address realities of unequal life circumstances.
- Empowering the next generation to break out of the poverty trap.
- Reducing social stratification through equal opportunities.
