Enlightening Youths.

At YSO Tanzania, our vision is to create a world where all youth have a meaningful space to create a sustainable future for all individuals, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or socio economic status, and can live in a safe, healthy, and sustainable environment free from discrimination, oppression, and violence.
Our organization strives to create a country where environmental conservation and social justice go hand in hand. We believe that by promoting sustainable development practices, protecting the environment, and advocating for policies that promote human rights, we can create a more equitable and just world. We envision a future where communities are empowered to take action on these issues, where individuals are informed and engaged, and where decision-makers prioritize the well-being of people and the planet. Through our advocacy efforts, we aim to make this vision a reality.

The mission of YSO Tanzania is to promote advocacy, environmental conservation, and the prevention of gender-based violations in order to create a country that is safe, healthy, and just for all.
Through our work, we seek to create a country where all individuals are empowered to live their lives with dignity, respect, and autonomy, where the country is protected and celebrated, and where communities are resilient and equitable. We believe that by working together towards these shared goals, we can create a better future for all.
