SAFEGUARDING THE DREAMS OF THE NEXT GENERATION.
SAFEGUARDING THE DREAMS OF THE NEXT GENERATION.
Child maltreatment is the abuse and neglect that occurs to children under 18 years of age. It is a huge global problem with a serious impact on the victims’ physical and mental health, well-being and development throughout their lives – and, by extension, on society in general. - (WHO)
A child who is abused is more likely to abuse others as an adult so that violence is passed down from one generation to the next.
It is therefore critical to break this cycle of violence, and in so doing create positive multi-generational impacts.
Where every child can grow up happy, healthy, and safe. This is the future we're working towards.
We want to make sure kids can enjoy their childhood without fear, learn and play in safety, and grow up without carrying the baggage that comes from being abused or neglected.
At the heart of Guiding Dreams lies a commitment to Positive Peace, inspired by Johan Galtung's framework.
" Peace equals ability to handle conflict, with empathy, nonviolence, and creativity."
We begin by helping children and families where they need it most. With resources, tools, and workshops, we help them resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner.
Our peacekeeping efforts center on fostering strong community leadership to sustain and enhance the peaceful environments we've helped establish.
Peacebuilding is the cornerstone of our long-term vision. It focuses on building a network of cross-sectoral collaborations committed to the well-being and safety of every child.
HELLO!! I'm Arnab from Guwahati, Assam.
My journey to Guiding Dreams has been a blend of personal revelation and professional evolution. With over eight years of experience spanning corporates like "Amazon" and "Dell", to impactful stints at “Mantra4Change" and “Sattva Consulting”, my career has been diverse.
A turning point came when I joined UNLEASH Global Innovation Lab 2022, inspired by leaders like Kailash Satyarthi and passionate peers and mentors. It made me realize my dream: to bring peace and harmony closer to home. With leadership coaching and mentorship, I had dived deep into research and closely worked with a youth from Karimganj (Assam) who had endured child labor and neglect during his childhood. My interactions with NGOs and community leaders in Assam, solidified my resolve.
Guiding Dreams is my small way of contributing to a world where children can grow up safe and inspired.

Our team is a small group of young volunteers with diverse educational backgrounds in mental health, child rights, research, and sustainability. Each member is on a unique path, growing their skills and leadership abilities, as we work together towards a common goal.
Our project has been selected for U-Lab 2x program by the Presencing Institute (based out of MIT Center for Organizational Learning).
The program’s focus area is to equip the team to drive deep societal impact through Innovation & Ecosystem Leadership.
If you're passionate about the welfare of our children and are driven to support a critical mission that makes a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
