To the OFFICIAL Website of Youth Sport Uganda. YSU works towards a world where all young people have the opportunity to improve their lives through access to sports and recreation

Since 2006, YSU has helped thousands of children from different social, economic and religious backgrounds form friendships and, crucially, learn important health issues including HIV/AIDs awareness. YSU has continued to promote health and education messages to children across the country. YSU has turned its simple sports programmes into ‘sport in development’ initiatives. Thus it has been able to promote inclusion in sports for girls to help them stay in school by building their pride and athleticism in order that they are better informed to avoid, for example, teen pregnancy.

ABOUT US

2011-10-31T00:21:00.003-07:00

Youth Sport Uganda is a community-driven, Non-Governmental Organization based in Kampala, the capital of Uganda.Founded in 2006, the Organization has been involved in tackling issues like HIV/AIDS,poverty alleviation,and child rights in underprivileged communities in Uganda.

Using the "Sport in the Development Process" approach, we seek to foster community education, development and empowerment. The YSU concept is based on this belief that, sport with a positive orientation, when integrated into the broader framework of human and social development goals and priorities, is a powerful vehicle for change.As almost every child in Uganda participates in sport,either through merely watching or actually playing, sport presents a medium of communication that children and youth are both familiar with, and willing to participate in.
