In a country where over 70% of the population is under the age of 35, the dreams of young Somalis are not just hopes for the future — they are the blueprint for building it.

UNDP Somalia, in partnership with a new generation of Somali storytellers, is proud to launch “Me and My Somalia: From Dream to Reality” — a bold new video campaign that captures the hopes, struggles, and everyday triumphs of Somali youth across the country.

Through powerful short videos created by 20 young storytellers — trained and equipped to document real stories from real communities — this campaign brings the voices of Somalis to the forefront. From public services to peacebuilding, from climate change to economic opportunity, these stories shed light on the issues that matter most, and the homegrown solutions shaping Somalia’s future.

Rooted in Somalia’s rich oral traditions and driven by digital creativity, “Me and My Somalia” is a call to listen, to reflect — and to believe in the power of dreams.
