Courses & Training
Eureka Institute
YSEP provides training programmes at the Eureka Institute in the following subjects: English, French, hotel management, tour guide training, life skills, motor vehicle mechanics and pre secondary school classes.
Many graduations have already been held.
The projects have REAL RESULTS and change the lives of REAL PEOPLE.
Could you help these students by donating 5,000 Tsh (about £2) a month to support their ongoing learning? 
See our 'Help us' section for more details.
Continuing the different courses is the biggest challenge for YSEP, which is why we need the support of donations and willing volunteers.
Outreach work
This involves visiting and teaching children detained in the Arusha Remand Home. Volunteers teach English, religious 
studies and anything else they may want the children to enjoy (for example, artwork). YSEP provides psycho-social support to these youngsters, many of whom are innocent. They are given clothes, mosquito nets, care and attention.
These visits are crucial for the young prisoners– many of whom were street children - and ensure they still feel like accepted members of the community.
On occasions, if a young 
offender demonstrates motivation, volunteers will sign them out of prison and help them set up their own businesses.
Children who cannot afford to continue education are helped with reading and other relevant skills to try and help them find employment.
Income generating activities
In June 2008 YSEP trained 200 youths to enable them to earn a living for themselves.
Income generating activities include tailoring, barber training and pig/vegetable farming. Youngsters are taught useful skills they can develop themselves. This might include ways to sell their produce at local markets.
Ally Bigo has a lot to thank YSEP for. He was one of the first young people to benefit from the charity's support in 2004, soon after it had been set up. Ally originally trained to become a barber, but over time and with renewed ambition he later decided to become a vet. After saving enough money to pay his rent, food and tuition expenses, Ally joined a college in 2007. Two years later, and with a lot of hard work, he has qualified as a vet. He has now set up his own business, which is thriving, and is earning a good salary.
Now Ally has decided to repay YSEP by sponsoring a youngster himself, in the hope that others will find similar success.
Ally said: "I want to thank everyone on the YSEP team and all the donors who support it, for empowering me to do this. Without this charity I would not be where I am today."
