DREAMS
Delivering Resilient Enterprises and Market Systems (DREAMS) is an award-winning model that combines Village Enterprise’s poverty graduation program with Mercy Corps’ expertise in market systems development to better equip Africa’s most vulnerable populations to get out of extreme poverty. First launched in the Bidi Bidi Refugee Settlement in northern Uganda in 2018, DREAMS expanded to Tanzania in 2024. In Tanzania, Village Enterprise is providing technical assistance to Mercy Corps and Caritas Tabora as we work with naturalized Tanzanians who were formerly refugees from Burundi.
