About Us
Building a better future for young people in the DRC
Our History
Created in 2020, DSDM ASBL (Driving School My Dream plus Mechanics) is a non-profit association with its head office in Bweremana, Territory of Masisi, in the province of North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo. Today, the organization has settled in Goma, the provincial capital of North Kivu, in order to broaden its reach and be more accessible to young people and partners.
Faced with the recurring armed conflicts which ravage the region and jeopardize the future of young people, DSDM ASBL was born from a vision of offering young people concrete opportunities for training and personal development.
We firmly believe that every young person, whatever their current situation, has the potential to contribute to the progress of their community and build a better future.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support young people, direct or indirect victims of conflicts, by developing their skills and transforming their despair into hope and their dreams into reality.
Our Vision
We aim to be a center of excellence in youth training in the DRC, empowering each graduate to become a change-maker for peace and development nationwide.
