Dreamers & Founders™ has been proudly recognized as the Best Educational Program for Kids in Business & Financial Literacy of 2025 by Evergreen Awards. This prestigious accolade celebrates the groundbreaking work of Dreamers & Founders™ in empowering the next generation of young entrepreneurs with essential business and financial literacy skills that will enable them to thrive in the ever-evolving digital economy.

Founded by Kayshree Govender, Dreamers & Founders™ began as a personal mission to provide children and teens, ages 8–18, with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take charge of their futures. After facing immense personal challenges — including financial struggles, a painful divorce, and the loss of her mother — Kayshree channeled her experience into creating a program that would help young people avoid the obstacles she had to overcome.

Dreamers & Founders™ offers a unique blend of hands-on business education, confidence-building strategies, and ethical AI literacy. Through its two signature pathways — Mini CEOs™ (ages 8-12) and Launch Legends™ (ages 13-18) — students learn not only how to build and launch businesses but also how to lead with purpose, solve real-world problems, communicate boldly, and use modern tools like AI to grow their entrepreneurial ventures.

The program’s approach goes beyond traditional classroom learning by integrating gamification, mentorship, and practical business experiences. Students earn badges, participate in live pitch showcases, and learn how to apply financial principles in ways that are both engaging and impactful. Whether creating their own brands, pitching ideas, or launching online businesses, young learners are provided with the necessary skills to navigate the complexities of today’s digital-first world.

What sets Dreamers & Founders™ apart is its deep commitment to creating a positive, sustainable impact on the communities it serves. The program has successfully bridged the gap between education and innovation by offering globally benchmarked standards, while still maintaining a local heart. Additionally, Dreamers & Founders™ reinvests its proceeds into school development projects and provides educational access to underserved youth, particularly across Africa. This commitment to social impact makes Dreamers & Founders™ more than just a program — it’s a movement that is shaping confident, purpose-driven leaders across the globe.

As Kayshree herself states, “We’re not raising followers. We’re raising founders. Dreamers who dare. Builders who believe.” Through Dreamers & Founders™, children are not just taught the basics of business and financial literacy; they are encouraged to think critically, dream big, and take action.

The recognition from Evergreen Awards as the Best Educational Program for Kids in Business & Financial Literacy of 2025 serves as a testament to the program’s success in changing the landscape of youth education. It underscores Dreamers & Founders™'s mission to equip young people with the future-ready skills needed to succeed in a world that is increasingly digital, interconnected, and entrepreneurial.
