About Us

In the heart of our foundation lies a narrative that transcends mere words – Shashi Dream Foundation. It echoes as a beacon of hope, resilience, and the promise of transformative change. Our journey unfolds from a profound commitment to address the pervasive issue of unequal access to education in our society.

It all began in 2018, a year that marked the birth of a vision. Our visionary founder, Shri Harshal Dhoke, fuelled by deep devotion to his mother and a fervent desire to uplift the nation, breathed life into Shashi Dream Foundation. With the unwavering principle of ‘start where you can, use what you have, do what you can,’ he laid the groundwork for a formidable force dedicated to empowering underprivileged children through education.

From the quaint town of Katol, Maharashtra, our humble beginnings took root. Guided by the indomitable spirit of Shri Harshal Dhoke, we embarked on a journey to make a difference, one child at a time. Inspired by his own journey as the first IITIAN from Katol, Harshal Dhoke envisioned a future where every underprivileged child could excel in life, regardless of their background or circumstances. 

With the establishment of our first community centre in Katol, we took our first steps towards realizing this vision, providing quality education to those who need it most.

As the years passed, our reach expanded, and our impact grew. With the inauguration of our fifth community centre, Gaya Daji, located near Narkhed, Nagpur, we celebrated a milestone in our journey of hope and empowerment. Each community centre became a sanctuary of learning, nurturing the dreams of children across India.

But our journey was not without its challenges. From navigating the complexities of educational inequality to overcoming financial constraints, we faced obstacles at every turn. Yet, fuelled by the unwavering support of our dedicated team and the communities we serve, we persevered.

Today, as we reflect on our journey, we are filled with a sense of pride and gratitude. Our greatest achievement lies in the lives we have touched and transformed. Over the years, Shashi Dream Foundation has impacted over 15,000+ underprivileged children, providing them with the tools they need to build a brighter future. From the distribution of over 50,000+ books and stationery products to conducting more than 500 career counselling sessions, each milestone is a testament to the resilience and determination of Shashi Dream Foundation.

Yet, our journey is far from over. As we look to the future, we are filled with hope and determination. With each passing day, we continue to write the story of Shashi Dream Foundation – a story of hope, empowerment, and the transformative power of education. And as we embark on the next chapter of our journey, we invite you to join us as we continue to make a difference.
