The Laureus Sports for good Chairman Edwin Moses Talks MYSA

Our 10 year strategy PDF Print E-mail

At MYSA, we want to help every child in Mathare to reach his or her full potential.

We have over 25,000 members, but there are many more young people in Mathare who could benefit from our values, programmes and support.

This is why we have launched a ten year strategy so that by 2019, we will have over 30,000 members. We will do this by:

  • Improving the scope and quality of our programmes;
  • Making sure that we appeal to our target audiences e.g. girls, young people with disabilities and young offenders;
  • Raising more money for education scholarships awarded as part of the leadership scheme;
  • Decentralising our operations – giving more responsibility to zone management teams;
  • Developing and training our staff and volunteers;
  • Forming new partnerships – both local and international;
  • Strengthening internal systems, processes and management;
  • Raising MYSA’s profile in Kenya and abroad.

 

We created this strategy with the support of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation and Comic Relief. Everyone had a say and the final strategy reflects all of our ideas, plans and dreams for MYSA. We are really excited about the opportunities that this strategy offers and are ready to tackle the challenges ahead.
