The Department of Social Welfare (DSW), Ghana
The Department of Social Welfare is the Government Statutory Agency in Ghana that is mandated to ensure the social integration of vulnerable, excluded and the disadvantaged for the development and growth of the economy. They have the following statutory obligations:
The promotion and protection of the rights of children

As an NGO in Ghana, Dream On works directly under DSW and assists in all aspects of their mission when called upon.
Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service
The vision of DOVVSU is to create an environment that provides a timely and equitable response to victims of abuse, while also striving to prevent, protect, apprehend and prosecute perpetrators of domestic violence and child abuse. DOVVSU and Dream On work in a collaborative manner on cases of domestic violence, forced marriage, child abuse, and defilement, from the initial report through prosecution. In addition, when necessary we assist DOVVSU in the formulation of post-rescue care plans for victims.
Since 2014, BlueCrest College has been a steadfast partner in empowering Ghanaian young adults. The administration has provided scholarships to Dream On students, which has made it possible for them to achieve their academic goals and secure a bright future. BlueCrest values empowerment and passion, success of students, and collaborations that create life-long learners and have a holistic impact on all its stakeholders. Its motto, “Come with a dream, and leave with a career” is perfectly aligned with our mission.

senior high schools and colleges throughout ghana
A number of secondary and tertiary education institutions in Ghana embrace our mission of educating vulnerable children and assist Dream On by providing reduced tuition fees. Their partnership with Dream On makes it possible for a greater number of students to graduate from senior secondary school and pursue a tertiary education. Unfortunately, Dream On cannot publicize the names of every partner school due to the fact that many students are part of our protection program and their locations cannot be revealed.
