DreamGirls
DreamGirls works with young women and girls to achieve economic independency
From girl to woman, we support young females to move from economic dependency to self-sufficiency and become successful & purposed-driven professionals, entrepreneurs & leaders. Our strength is in inspiring and supporting young women to become women of action, women of excellence and women who contribute to building a thriving society.
As an organization, we are constantly developing a robust pipeline and hub of top young female talent. We offer a wide range of female empowerment services in the form of structured mentorship programmes, professional & personal development coaching, empowerment workshops & events, corporate employee volunteer programmes, financial study aid and outreach projects.
This organization was established in Johannesburg on 6 November 2011, as an offshoot of DreamGirls International, by a group of young black South African females seeking to encourage young women to educate themselves, plan, fulfill their potential, and become successful well-rounded trailblazers and change makers.
By the end of 2019, over 1200 teen girls & young women would’ve completed and graduated from at least one of our mentorship & empowerment programmes across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Welkom, Polokwane and Durban.
