Our Child-Centered Network model is built on 20 years of success from our partner organization in Ethiopia, Real-Humanitarian's. By adopting and refining their strategies, we ensure our youth support centers are grounded in research, experience, and best practices.

At Empowering Dreams, we recognize that youth often face gaps in their support networks, whether due to societal, community, or familial shortcomings. We are dedicated to bridging these gaps and, where possible, mending them to create a stronger, more resilient support system for every child.

We believe that the well-being of youth is directly impacted by the support network surrounding them—their society, communities, and families. Our holistic approach, based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, ensures that each youth’s physiological, safety, love, and esteem needs are met, enabling them to reach their full potential.

The Child-Centered Network (CCN) model was developed by the founders of Real-Humanitarian, who have mentored and partnered with us to share their research and best practices. Real-Humanitarian has successfully implemented the CCN model in Ethiopia for over 20 years.
Transforming Lives Through Proven Strategies
When students join a CCN program, they quickly feel valued and recognize that they can break the cycle of poverty by seizing the opportunities provided. They develop confidence and hope for a brighter future. Within one generation, our beneficiaries transition from the despair of poverty to a future filled with opportunities, employment, and relationship success.
At Real-Humanitarian, 70% of their youth have completed Post secondary in a county where the majority of youth do not even attend middle school or high school!
Building Brighter Futures Together
At Empowering Dreams, we are dedicated to empowering youth through a comprehensive range of programs designed to address their unique needs and challenges.
From personalized mentorship and psychological services to educational support and family strengthening initiatives, our programs provide the tools and resources necessary for every child to thrive. We believe in a holistic approach that not only nurtures the individual but also strengthens the community as a whole.
