Over the years, the academy’s impact has extended far beyond individual lives, touching the hearts of communities and families. Through their music and arts initiatives, they have raised awareness on pressing societal issues affecting girls and women, including period poverty, child marriage, and Female Genital Mutilation.
In a groundbreaking move, Dream Catchers Academy set up a free formal Arts Academy. This institution caters specifically to talented girls from low-income and marginalized communities, offering them access to quality education and opportunities for artistic expression.
