Rooted in L.O.V.E.
Love is not just a word. It’s the rhythm of giving, creating, and connecting — the invisible thread that binds us to one another and to the planet we call home.
At Dream Tank Kenya and Thee Safehouse Kenya, we believe that love is a verb — a living force that shapes our world when we choose to act from the heart. Through our movement, Rooted in L.O.V.E. (Lift Our Voices Everywhere), we are reimagining what love looks like in action — not as sentiment, but as sustainable impact.
This month, we embodied that vision through our “What Is L.O.V.E.” campaign. Together with partners, volunteers, and local youth, we visited a children’s home — not only to give, but to connect. We shared laughter, painted dreams, planted trees, and told stories that reminded us what it means to be human.
Every smile, every shared moment became an answer to that question:
What is L.O.V.E.?
It’s the courage to care. The act of creating beauty from simplicity. The promise of hope that transcends words.
🌱 Rooted in Action — Growing Together
Our upcoming Dream Tank Kenya outreach event will expand this spirit — blending art, innovation, and purpose. This gathering will not only empower local youth through creative storytelling and mental wellness, but also connect Kenya’s grassroots energy to a global movement of regeneration.
In this effort, we are building bridges with partners who share our vision for sustainable change:
Sustainable Ventures — showcasing regenerative technologies that bring real solutions to communities.
Digital Infrastructure Partners — powering the coordination layer that connects art, data, and audiences into a living network of impact.
Cultural Collaborators — bringing music, movement, and story as the heartbeat of our Pavilion, reminding us that culture is the language of connection.
Philanthropy & Regenerative Finance — funding youth and Indigenous participation, breathing life into the movement and ensuring no voice is left behind.
These partnerships form the ecosystem that allows love in action to take root — from local outreach in Kenya to global collaboration across the Dream Tank network.
💛 How You Can Help
To bring this vision fully to life, we are seeking support to fund our local Kenya activation with two events in October and November. Your contribution will:
- Support youth and children’s creative workshops on art, wellness, and leadership.
- Provide meals, materials, and transport for participants and volunteers.
- Help us plant trees, strengthen local resilience, and connect communities.
- Power digital storytelling that amplifies youth voices globally.
- Every donation becomes a seed — one that grows into shared purpose, creativity, and hope.

✨ The Heart of Love in Motion
Through Rooted in L.O.V.E., we are proving that transformation doesn’t begin in boardrooms — it begins in hearts. It begins when we sit beside a child and listen to their dreams, when we plant a tree and promise to protect it, when we choose compassion over indifference.
Together, we can design a future that is not only sustainable but soulful.
One rooted in connection, creativity, and courage.
🌍 The future is a canvas — let’s paint it with L.O.V.E.
💛 Donate. Partner. Share. Create.
Because when we Lift Our Voices Everywhere, the world begins to listen.
From Fairy Tales to Fellowships
But in this kingdom, the grown-ups were often too busy to listen. Their calendars were crowded, their meetings too long, and their ears tuned only to practical things.
Then one day, a group of optimistic dream-weavers gathered. They were mentors, visionaries, and believers in the magic of youth. They said:
“What if there was a place where children’s dreams didn’t vanish, but grew stronger? A place where imagination could be poured into a tank, like water into a well – then drawn out again to fuel the world?”
So they built a vessel – not a ship of metal or steel, but one of imagination, courage, and community. They called it Dream Tank.
Dream Tank was no ordinary vessel. It was fueled by curiosity, steered by compassion, and powered by collaboration. Children and teens were invited aboard, encouraged to bring their boldest dreams, no matter how big or small. Its doors opened wide to every child who dared to dream.
Inside, young people became inventors, changemakers, and heroes. They designed campaigns to spread kindness, blueprints to heal the planet, and stories to inspire hope. And the adults, at last, began to listen. They saw that children’s ideas weren’t just pretend – they were keys to solving real problems. And together, hand in hand, youth and grown – ups began to build a brighter tomorrow.
Yet, to carry these dreams from the realm of story into the world beyond, a guardianship was needed – not of walls or armor, but of spirals. The Spiral Guardianship became the way to protect, nurture, and evolve each idea, ensuring that a child’s dream could grow stronger with every turn, reaching outward in widening circles of possibility.
And so came the call: Design Our Futures N.O.W.
This became the bridge – through a Network Of the Whole – the guardians, mentors, and pathway that connects fairy tale to fellowship, imagination to innovation, “once upon a time” to “happening today.” Across this bridge, dreamers step boldly, carrying their visions into the real world, where they become projects, movements, and solutions for everyone.
Today, we celebrate this offering: a fellowship where the magic of youth is not only honored but equipped, amplified, and set free. DreamTank is no longer just a story – it is a living bridge, spiraling outward, inviting all of us to walk across and help make the impossible real.
For in this kingdom, the greatest magic of all is not only the boundless imagination of a child – it is what happens when that imagination is believed in, nurtured, protected, and brought to life.

Introducing:
Design Our Futures N.O.W.
A Youth-Led Global Movement for Planetary Regeneration
Mission Statement
The Power of Love Must Overcome the Love of Power.
And love is not just a feeling,
it is coordinated, consistent actions.
“It’s going to take the miracle of a global village to direct the trajectory of this planet towards regeneration.”
– Ansley Jean Davis
We believe young visionaries are key to catalyzing systemic change, and bringing people together through joyful, strategic action.
Powered by youth, guided by elders, fueled by love, and grounded in the SDGs,
our mission is to help weave a new planetary narrative.
This movement recognizes that coordinated, consistent actions
rooted in love can transform our world.
And we believe that we might just be crazy enough to pull it off.
So, Let’s Coordinate Love. Party. Let’s Dance.
Let’s Love One Another.
And Let’s Heal for the Planet and
Do Good Things for Our Community.
We’re organizing a “community of communities” that focuses efforts quarterly on key survival topics. By moving in sync, we transform fragmentation into a symphony of regeneration.
The How: Our Intention
It is not a lack of goals (U.N. SDG +) – it’s a lack of fun and coordination.
Welcome to the Planetary Party Protocol.
Healing, Remembering, Dancing and ~ Partying ~ Our Way to a Healthy Planet.
🌍 Dreamtanking and The Planetary Party Protocol
The Four-Part Annual Design Sprint Cycle
| Quarter | Theme | Focus | |

Design Our Futures N.O.W.: A Youth-Led Call to Imagine Tomorrow
The future isn’t something distant. It’s already being designed by the bold visions and choices of today’s youth, moment by moment, with our choices, creativity, and courage. Dream Tank’s Design Our Futures N.O.W. campaign is an open invitation for youth everywhere to invite older generations to break down their walls and help them rise, imagine, and design the world they want to live in.
N.O.W. – Network of the Whole
The Spiral Guardianship Council is the living heart of the Network of the Whole. Formed in early 2025, it brings together intergenerational stewards, visionaries, and community leaders to ensure that youth voices are not just heard, but integrated into the design of regenerative systems. Guardianship is about more than oversight — it’s about modeling wisdom, weaving resources, and holding sacred space for bold youth-led innovation to flourish. This council acts as a bridge between generations, guiding the Spiral so that every DreamTank hub and planetary activation is supported with love, integrity, and accountability.
🌍 The Theme: The Future I Want
At its heart, this global planetary regeneration movement asks young people to put their visions of tomorrow into form—through innovation, entrepreneurship, gaming, investing, painting, dance, writing, photography, digital storytelling, or any creative medium. Every post, every brushstroke, every shared innovation becomes part of a worldwide chorus, reminding us that the future belongs to all of us, and especially to those who will inherit it.
✨ It’s a Movement
This isn’t just about creating beautiful work. It’s about igniting a movement of connection, courage, and love. In a world facing climate change, inequality, and fast-moving technological shifts, we believe youth voices hold the power to reframe not only what we fear, but what we hope for. Each creation is a message of resilience and possibility: proof that our future can be designed with kindness, compassion, and bold imagination.
🚀 Part of a Bigger Dream
This campaign builds on Dream Tank’s mission to mobilize #1BillionYouth innovation for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. From amplifying youth voices at the United Nations to elevating their ideas at Davos, Dream Tank has always stood for one truth: young people hold the creativity and vision we need to solve the world’s greatest challenges. Design Our Futures N.O.W. is the next chapter—a space for youth to design the future through the universal language of art.
🎨 What Happens Next?
Over the coming months, youth worldwide are invited to create and share under the theme The Future I Want. Selected works may be showcased in digital galleries, local community events, and even global gatherings. Imagine the visions of today’s youth being projected on walls, celebrated in exhibitions, or woven into policy conversations shaping tomorrow.
💡 Who Can Participate?
Anyone, anywhere. All it takes is courage, creativity, and the willingness to dream out loud. Whether you’re sketching in a classroom, filming with your phone, or painting on the streets—your vision matters.
