OUR YEAR IN NUMBERS ACROSS AFRICAN CITIES WE HAVE

Who we are: Dreamtown is a Danish NGO that works to improve the well-being of young people in cities. We do this together with our network of partner organisations and youth communities across Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. We support young people who are at the forefront of transforming the urban space around them and making an active difference to create safer, greener, and more creative communities. At the same time, we support young people in getting their voices heard and build platforms for their participation in decision-making processes. We support and collaborate with a large network of civil society organisations, youth groups, and youth networks, and mobilize funding to directly support young people’s ideas, dreams, and initiatives. At the same time, we try to share and strengthen capacity together with our partners to deliver quality programmes for and with young people. Finally, we work in Denmark through various educational and engagement activities to create increased awareness and enthusiasm among Danish youth about sustainable urban development and facilitate meetings between young people in Denmark and young people from the places where we collaborate.
