About us

Opportunities for Djiboutian Youth (OFDY) is the first 100% online youth-led djiboutian platform dedicated to upskilling and empowering young people through six key areas: youth employment, civic leadership, education, advocacy, networking and mentorship. Created by youth for youth, OFDY recognized the urgent need to amplify young voices and contributions within society. We aim to create positive social, economic, and environmental changes, fostering inclusive, fair, and sustainable communities that contribute towards the global sustainable development of our societies. OFDY collaborates with young people and changemakers worldwide to cultivate an environment conducive to achieving a sustainable and resilient future by 2030. With a focus on youth engagement, OFDY offers an online platform to educate young people and to address the challenges outlined in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through humanistic and critical thinking, our network (+1000 members) promotes advocacy, education, mentorship and practical initiatives to foster equitable global communities and create more sustainable societies. Since its existence in 2022, Opportunities for Djiboutian Youth (OFDY) has built a vibrant community of over +5,000 followers. We are set to launch the Global Youth Empowerment and Mentorship (GYEM) program, which is expected to make a significant impact. Currently, we have engaged +2,500 participants from 154 countries across five continents, reflecting our broad reach and the growing interest in our initiatives. Looking ahead, we have set an ambitious goal to expand our reach to 10,000 participants over the next three years. This will be achieved through successive cohorts designed to scale our efforts and enhance our global impact. By reaching this goal, we aim to empower an even larger number of young people, providing them with the tools and opportunities to drive positive change in their communities and beyond.
