Everyone has a dream! The poor and underprivileged done have the opportunity to fulfill their
dreams. In a society torn by inequality and injustice, Sahaara seeks to draw out the dream
em-bedded in the hearts and lives of the underprivileged and creates avenues for the fulfillment
of the dream. Sahaara gifts dreams to the child victimized in a perilous red light area, to her
trafficked mother benumbed by sexual violence, to the languishing prisoner, to the child invisible
behind high walls of the observation home, to the orphan on the street, to the stick- tapping visually
challenged woman on the speeding train, to the slum child who is written off to be a child labourer
and perseveres in the enkindling of dying dreams all across Mumbai?
 
Sahaara believes that a helping hand of love and a continuum of services and opportunities is
the key to transforming the dreams of the innumerable poor into their realities.
