ORGANISATION
In 2022, we have continued to develop Dreamtown as an organisation that has a strong focus on the wellbeing of all staff.

We have likewise strengthened Dreamtown’s organisational DNA of collaboration and equality in our organisational structures. In practices, this means we have:
• Kept having an equal pay policy. No matter who you are - when you work in Dreamtown, you make the same as everyone else.
• We have minimized hierarchies and flattened the organisation.
• We have ditched the titles. Instead, establishing clear roles and responsibilities.
• We have established three core teams – organisation and finance; programme and research; and communication and engagement, and strengthened the mandate for each team to make independent decisions.
• We have split Dreamtown’s leadership role amongst two persons.
In 2023, we look forward to further evolve as an organisation that puts the collective and the wellbeing of all staff at the heart of everything we do.
Projects and finance: In 2022, we have mobilised several new projects which have a positive impact on our financial situation and our opportunities. During 2022, we have, among other things, welcomed two new team members at the office. We started the process towards becoming a programme organisation with CISU - Civil Society in Development - which will hopefully bring increased economic stability through a longerterm grant which will support a big part of our project collaborations.
In 2022, we have started 10 new projects across Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya and Denmark, and increased our project income from 9,069,399 in 2021 to 12,437,400 in 2022. The new projects enable us to strengthen our efforts and the sustainability of our partnerships and reach more young people in cities across the countries where we collaborate. As a major milestone among the new projects is “Børnenes U-landskalender” (Christmas Calendar), which Dreamtown will run together with FANT in 2023, and where the profits will contribute to our work in Sierra Leone to support conductive education and learning spaces for girls and young women, starting 2024.
