The Nyota Youth Sports and Community Service Center was recently gifted with $1,000 to buy fresh cleats for many of the kids on our teams. A big shout out of thanks to our friends at U2U for the gift that brought such big smiles. A thousand dollars makes a huge difference to a soccer club in the inner city of Arusha, Tanzania, and we are so thankful.
"Nyota" seeks to help kids succeed on the field and in life. Beyond the benefits of sports alone, we offer academic scholarships, sponsorships to vocational training courses, English lessons and other life-skills seminars. What a privilege to encourage the highest potential in the lives of youth-at-risk in our city. With your help, we're changing that term to youth-with-hope!
The BBC recently posted an article about the impact of football on African kids and how they dream of using it to find a way out of their desperate circumstances. If World Cup fever is affecting you and you believe in reaching out through sports opportunities, please consider hitting the DONATION button at top right and designating your gift for NYOTA SOCCER PROGRAM. Every gift makes a real difference for the young Africans in our academy.
