Community Youth Parliaments Can Restore Urban Gardens to Kampala
The savvy use of a current bottom-up governance model galvanize people to replant urban gardens in the informal settlements of Kampala
KAMPALA, UGANDA
Welcome to Dreamtown. Although the well-being of many young urban Africans is under immense pressure, they are remarkably taking on many issues to transform their communities into safe, green and thriving societies. This series, in collaboration with the non-profit organization DREAMTOWN and their network of amazing youth led organizations, shows their boldness in its fullest glory. We strive for people to see these young Africans as the urban activists that they are in their everyday lives and shift the narrative of what Africa is and can be.
