ABOUT THIS PROJECT

The Youth and Success Association (YASA) is a registered Non-Profit and Non-Political Initiative and Organization (Registration certificate no: SOC/73350). It was Founded by the Youth to empower fellow Youth, Women and Person’s with Disability. YASA seeks to empower the youth by providing platforms for Informing, Educating and Communicating to the youth. These it champions using its various programs that target specific segments of the Youth, clustered according to their unique interests. Some of the new interactive media used to dispense learnings are through the YASA magazine, Social Media channels, Trainings, Interactive Youth Portal, Mail serve and Blogs.

That is my exact reflection,…

That is my exact reflection, and also my motivation for joining this initiative. Whereas we appreciate the growth that we have experienced in our current careers, some of us would have made better choices had we received the kind of mentorship that we are giving to our generation. Thank you for your compliment Zayithwa. Much Appreciated.
