Health

Our health program uses sport and play to stimulate environments to promote the health and well-being of youth, their families and communities. Promotion of mental health, Sexual reproductive rights, prevention of drug use and general wellbeing is achieved using trained coaches and structured curriculums.

Livelihood

The livelihood program supports the development of marketable livelihoods skills that create opportunities for self – employment among the poor and vulnerable youth. The Programme targets youth both in and out of school with an overall goal to improve youth livelihoods and participation in income generation

Education

YSU’s education programs use sport to stimulate thinking around learning outcomes, improve physical literacy and physical activity levels, promote sustainable futures for young people, and allow active inclusion regardless of age or gender.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

With a unique focus on play-based behavior change and sustainability, our WASH program successfully integrated sustainability and activities impacting water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and health in communities. The goal of the program is to ensure access to water and sanitation for all by 2030.

Climate and Environment

Through this program, YSU joined the battle against climate change through athletics and continues to set an example for others to follow. The program uses the power of play and sport to improve communities while addressing global concerns that threaten our quality of life, such as inequality, air pollution, and climate change.

Executive Director

Our mission is to empower disadvantaged boys and girls from underserved urban and rural communities by nurturing their social skills and building their confidence through school-based and community sports programs.

YSU believes in the transformative power of sport to drive positive change, and we embed its core values of tolerance, equality, and inclusion into every initiative we undertake.

Explore our diverse range of programs and projects designed to ignite change and drive impact.

Tailoring Project

This project teaches girls and boys basic tailoring skills for a period of 6 months. They learn machine work, pattern drafting and cutting, fashion illustrations and practical sewing.

Football for WASH

In our Football 4 WASH program, we use the power of football to influence behavior in the field of water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH) among school going boys and girls.

Child Sponsorship

Sponsorship funds are sourced from friends of YSU abroad to help young sportsmen and women who can’t afford to pay for Secondary School but are active in their sports.
