YOSSO LAUNCH YOUTH PROJECTS

Youth Social Sport Organization (YOSSO) is a non-profit organization to bring needed sports and youth development programs to disadvantaged communities in Tanzania and beyond.

YOSSO believes that sport is an effective vehicle for bringing communities together and for teaching children important life skills on responsibility, teamwork, gender equality, HIV/AIDS education and fun.

At this current moment in time YOSSO runs three projects; Sport for L.I.F.E, Star Sister and Peer leadership. The projects are responses to after school incidents of idleness among the school going children, rise of HIV/AIDS infection and early pregnancies among youth.

It would be impossible to run these projects without the strong volunteer element involved and the voluntary donations received.
