Project Report | Mar 10, 2021
Project report

By Natalie Lazaris | Head: Business

Reach For A Dream believes in the power of making dreams come true and has worked to fulfil the dreams of children fighting life-threatening illnesses in South Africa for 33 years.  However, the reality of 2020 and the global pandemic has left many dreamers desperately waiting for their dreams to be fulfilled and many of them unable to experience their ultimate dream due to their prognosis or condition.  This unprecedented time has forced the Foundation to adapt to a ‘new normal’ and today, Reach For A Dream is thrilled to announce the launch and introduction of virtual reality dream experiences.

 These experiences have been developed by Eden [MadeByEden.com], a company that specialises in hardware, content and platform-based VR solutions. This state-of-the-art solution is designedto make specific dream experiences come true in a magical way while at the same time keeping human touch to a bare minimum to ensure the safety of the children.

This innovative and cutting-edge technology is specifically being utilised for dreamers-in-waiting in hospitals. The dream experience itself could be anything from swimming with dolphins and riding a mountain bike to visiting Disney World or seeing the Eiffel Tower. The options are endless!

 The Reach For A Dream VR kit boasts a Skyworth / Eden virtual reality headset, branding and placement case, VR Cover facial interface and foam replacement, Hyperkin Universal VR Masks, as well as skin friendly HMD cleaning wipes - which is neatly packed in a hard travel case with foam.

With the help and support of Eden, content providers and sponsors, the Foundation is looking to make more VR kits accessible and available to many more dream children across South Africa. The Foundation is therefore inviting content providers and sponsors who are willing to invest in this project.
