Jenebas historie er den anden af 4 små adventsfortællinger, vi deler i december 🎄 For at vise den fantastiske og konkrete forandring i unges liv, der sker gennem inkluderende uddannelsesfællesskaber i Sierra Leone.

For to år siden havde Henrietta aldrig brugt en computer. I dag driver hun sin egen lille print- og designforretning og tjener penge på sine digitale færdigheder 💻✨ Hun har være en del af Dreamtown og Youth Dream Centers projekt “Change the Game” - finansieret af midler fra Børnenes U-landskalender . Her har Henrietta lært både design, Word, Excel og Publisher – men hun har også fået noget endnu vigtigere: Nemlig selvtillid, mod og troen på sine egne evner. Og så lærer hun os allesammen noget om, hvad frihed betyder!

Two years ago, Henrietta had never used a computer. Today, she runs her own small print and design business and earns money from her digital skills 💻✨ She has been part of Dreamtown and Youth Dream Center’s project “Change the Game” - funded by grants from the Børnenes U-landskalender . Here, Henrietta has learned both design, Word, Excel and Publisher – but she has also gained something even more important: Namely self-confidence, courage and belief in her own abilities. And she teaches us all something about what freedom means!

Henrietta’s story is the first of 4 small advent stories we share in December 🎄 To show the fantastic and concrete change in young people’s lives that happens through inclusive educational communities in Sierra Leone.

**1.4 billion people will live in Africa’s cities by 2050.**

That’s double today’s urban population — and 80% of the continent’s total growth over the next 25 years.

The numbers are staggering. Over half of sub-Saharan Africa’s urban population already lives in informal settlements without secure land tenure, planned infrastructure, or reliable access to water and sanitation.

Cities are being built faster than governments can plan for them.

Which raises the question: who shapes Africa’s urban future?

At Dreamtown, we centre the people already building these cities — youth in Kampala, Nairobi, Freetown, and Harare who co-design spaces, map flood risks, plant shade, and turn dumpsites into gardens.

The next 25 years will determine whether Africa’s cities become engines of opportunity or sites of deepening inequality.

Planning must integrate local capacity. Youth must be at the table.
