Got an awesome programme in Zimbabwe, Young Achievement Sports for Development. awesome work. the organisation helps improve the lives of young people through: Sports Training Programme (STP) Educational Support Programme (ES) Youth Support Services Programme (YSS) Through the Sports Training Programme, YASD uses street to impact the lives of youths who were idle and were exposed to drug abuse. Through daily training sessions and weekly games the organisation has given youths in the community sense of pride and value. Time and again the team participates in soccer tournaments which serve to expose the youths to different styles of play as well as lifestyle. The Educational Support Programme is an initiative established to assist to educate children and young people in Hatcliffe, Harare, Zimbabwe. Children that are still at the primary level are supported with uniforms and fees and places to go to local government run schools. When they go for secondary education we strive to get them to boarding schools where they have better educational facilities. The Youth Support Service Programme is the arm of YASD that offers psycho- social support on an individual basis. The organisation offers grooming lessons, and prepares young people for job interviews, and business etiquette .YSS helps young people avoid these influences by giving them practical examples of people who have made it in life coming from impoverished backgrounds. Through the YSS we train young people on the different life skills, teach them the principles of peace, tolerance. We are trying our best through this tough time.
