Sustaining Dream Rooms in Pediatric Wards

By Deveny Fuller | Project Leader

Since the inception of our Dream Room initiative, we have successfully created 58 Dream Rooms in pediatric wards across South Africa. These spaces are designed to provide children with a safe and comforting environment where they can momentarily escape the realities of hospital life.

Each Dream Room is more than just a physical space. It is a place of imagination, learning, and emotional relief. Equipped with engaging technology, educational materials, and creative resources, these rooms help support children’s cognitive development while uplifting their spirits during treatment.

While we are incredibly proud of the 58 Dream Rooms we have built, our greatest need now lies in maintaining and enhancing these spaces. Over time, equipment needs to be updated, technology requires replacement, and educational materials must be replenished to remain relevant and effective.

Without ongoing support, these rooms risk losing the very magic that makes them so impactful.

This is where you can make a difference.

By supporting the maintenance of a Dream Room, you help ensure that every child continues to have access to:

• Functional and engaging technology
• Updated educational materials
• Creative tools that inspire play, learning, and emotional healing

Your contribution helps us preserve these vital spaces, allowing them to continue bringing comfort, joy, and opportunity to children when they need it most.

Be part of sustaining the dream.
Support the care and upkeep of a Dream Room and help us keep these spaces alive for every child who walks through their doors.
