dreamfly is a nonprofit global organization which brings together societies in conflict around common causes like
education, empowerment and exposure. It aims to create a brighter future on the foundation of human connections that
are inviolable by culture, religion, or politics.
Back in 2007, dreamfly was founded by Umaimah Mendhro to encourage the children of her village to dare to dream; to
globally connect with those who share the same dreams as theirs and to become considerate citizens. dreamfly started
with its mission in Pakistan by building a primary school in a village Akri, situated in Sindhs coastal district Golarchi.
Since that time, dreamfly has expanded its projects to several other countries, such as India, Afghanistan, Rwanda and
Colombia, thereby embarking on a global mission of connecting the societies in conflict and empowering them.
