Outside the Dream Foundation has selected three major areas of focus.
Many villager’s have no schools to attend. The nearest school can be miles away and difficult to reach. The foundation finds those villages and helps them create inviting learning environments at the primary and senior secondary levels. Vocational training programs are often included, providing future income earning potential for those who may not have the desire to attend university.

Grinding poverty, disease and war has left many Ugandans homeless, orphaned and without tuition fees, funds for school supplies, or room and board, making it impossible to attend school. The foundation seeks to identify and provide scholarships to those students with the greatest need and highest academic excellence.

Former child soldiers have lost years spent in the bush, held captive by the rebels. Many of these students are picking up the pieces of their shattered lives. Some have families to provide for, and have no hope of ever getting back to school. Outside the Dream offers micro-finance opportunities to these individuals, helping them get back on their feet and finish their education while providing food and shelter for their dependents.
