My Dream Now in Nairobi, Kenya
We are making a difference to youth in Kenya since October 2018!
​
Our vision is for all youth to understand their value in society and find their own paths to jobs and dreams.
Our model is to train volunteers, so-called class coaches, from local companies such as APA Insurance and DHL Global Forwarding.
​
A team of 3-4 class coaches from different employers visit a group of 20-30 students 3-4 times/year. In class we do different activities,
such as dream collages and setting goals. Companies take on study visits, to make students feel welcome, get role models and understand different jobs.
​
My Dream Now was founded in Sweden in 2011 by social, non-profit driven, company Creador AB.
In Kenya it is run under licence and support from Sweden by My Dream Now Africa Ltd, a social business as well.
CEO and Country Director My Dream Now Kenya is Sarah Njoroge. On the team in Kenya are also Peter Maina and Christopher Njoroge.
