Dream Factory Foundation
We are Building Africa – the Africa we want to see
Dream Factory Foundation works in the Education field. We design & implement programs for in-school youth, and out-of-school youth, that meet their socio-economic needs, enabling them to participate meaningfully in society.
In line with the needs of today’s connected world and a burgeoning African youth population, we have a special focus on Digital Skills Training. Youth are Africa’s greatest asset. Our future is connected to their present. We believe that every young person, regardless of their present circumstances, can attain their boldest dreams if given the right knowledge, leadership and access to meaningful opportunities. Digital Skills Training77% of jobs will require technical skills in the next decade. Africa has the largest and youngest workforce in the world, yet currently only one percent of African children leave school with basic coding skills. This is why we collaborate with international organizations such as Google, Facebook, Airbus Foundation, as well as local organizations to train young people with basic coding, online safety and digital literacy in all our locations. We participate in Africa Code Week every year where millions of youth in Africa are empowered with digital skills.

Dream Factory Foundation | Ladies In Tech!
This year we managed to transform lives and impact 20 young women from the Khayelitsha community. These ladies got an opportunity to learn about personal mastery, entrepreneurship, and digital intelligence. They also got to pitch their business ideas in front of potential funders! Cool right? The amazing thing is that you can also get this opportunity to be a lady in tech!
