Network Member
In Kenya, 33% of young people are infected with HIV/AIDS. In addition, communities throughout the region are affected by high rates of teen pregnancy and female genital mutilation.
Transforming Young Stars of Africa (TYSA) started out as a community group focused on mobilising young people in local communities to become young leaders.
TYSA’s goal is to empower and educate young people through the use of sports. In order to inform young people about important issues and opportunities, TYSA provides educational activities, job and vocational trainings alongside football activities and tournaments in the community.
