International Dreams For Human Rights Inc. (HRVG) was founded through lived experience and a belief that every person deserves access to opportunity.
Our founder grew up in severe poverty in Northeastern Kenya. Hunger, exclusion, and hopelessness were daily realities — not words on a page. That experience didn’t just shape her worldview. It became her life’s mission.
“The worst disease in life is poverty — because unlike other illnesses, poverty has no daily prescription. No antibiotic can cure it overnight. It requires something deeper — education, opportunity, dignity, and someone who refuses to look away.”
— Dr. Josephine Stegeman, Founder & Global General Director
International Dreams For Human Rights Inc. exists because she knows firsthand what it feels like to be forgotten — and how profoundly everything changes when someone shows up with compassion, resources, and genuine belief in your potential.
We are that someone.
