Our programmes emphasize sustainability through early capacity building of stakeholders, system enhancements and knowledge transfer.
Schools to Livelihood
Our involvement with the children begins at the elementary school level, and we continue to support, handhold, and coach them until they attain a meaningful livelihood.

Daily Updates
Every year, this journey reminds us why we beganAcross rural Karnataka, we meet students with bright eyes, quiet determination, and dreams bigger than their circumstances.
TYDE Rural begins with preparing students for the National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS) exam—but goes far beyond that.
Last week in Haveri, 750+ students from government schools came together across 7 centres for Phase 1 of our selection process for the TYDE Rural NMMS support program.
With tech-enabled assessments, we’re making the process smoother, fairer, and ready to reach many more students across Karnataka.
Grateful to DIZ, Germany @diz.ev for supporting this journey 💛
CONGRATULATIONS to our PUC Students!!!We are proud to share a significant milestone, one that reflects both the depth of our impact and the strength of our students’ journeys.
Our cohort has achieved a 100% pass rate in the II PUC Results 2026–27:
66% securing Distinction
34% achieving First Class
Beyond the numbers, this outcome is a testament to the discipline, perseverance, and ambition our students have demonstrated throughout the year. Their commitment to excellence continues to inspire us. At Dream School Foundation, we believe that when the right support systems meet determined young minds, meaningful transformation follows — and this is a powerful reflection of that belief in action.
This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our donors and partners, whose belief in our students continues to open doors and create opportunities. Your contribution goes far beyond funding - it fuels aspirations, builds confidence, and enables real change.
As our students move forward on their journeys, we warmly invite you to continue walking with them, through mentorship, guidance, and support to help them navigate the path ahead and unlock even greater possibilities.
Hearty Congratulations to our students and wishing them continued success as they take on the opportunities ahead!
