Page 2 - TYSA IMPACT REPORT 2017

Antony Gitei Acting CEO,TYSA
“Over last 17 years, you have been part of our transformative journey of our young people that is anchored on our theory of change. Our theory of change is anchored on the premise that every child is unique and posses’ different abilities and talents and therefore should not be condemned and or ridiculed as a result of societal assumptions, beliefs, expectations and stereotyping.
TYSA therefore commits to working with and reaching out to children and youth who are marginalized and vulnerable, those that slip through already weak social safety nets and those most vulnerable to abuse, violence, illit- eracy, exploitation and disease through value based sports. TYSA believes that rapid and enduring change as well as societal transformation is possi- ble when individual talents and abilities are identified and nurtured; when education is made accessible; when children and youth are offered safe spaces and when the individual is included and given a voice in deci- sion-making. To TYSA, the child’s self discovery, realization and advance- ment is key and value based sports is the unique and dynamic vehicle to which its interventions are hinged.
In this 2017 impact report, we share with you how your contribution has im- pacted on the lives of the young people that we work with. We re humbled by your patience and consistency in supporting positive development in young people.I invite you to interact with some of our young people as you read about Caroline’s oppourtunity to be, Ojilo’s different school of life, how Monica feels valued and the star in ‘you’ by Antony.Self-discovery nar- ratives from Annmarie, Boniface and Sarah should provide you with an overview of how TYSA lays foundation for positive young development.
