Inside the case

To do good, there is no borders.

The You in Africa NGO was created in 2018, with the aim of bringing attention, food and improvements to more than 800 children a day from the communities of Ruiru, Makuyu, Cheptulu, Thika and Kibera. Fighting hunger and encouraging studies, the organization wants to be the bridge between the whole planet and the heart of the project, in Kenya.

Through sport, entrepreneurship and education, Lucas Tilhaqui, founder of the YIA, wanted the project to gain more visibility, so we were summoned for this very important cause.

In order to provide the food, kitchens were built so that people from the community could cook. It all started in Tiqua, but has spread to more towns. We have a team that monitors these actions, taking the children to school and helping them in their daily lives as volunteers. Also, the children have online classes with education volunteers.

Junto da dedicação dos voluntários e o nosso engajamento nas redes, o projeto atinge diariamente dezenas de pessoas, expandindo de uma para seis comunidades. Possibilitando a construção de cozinhas e escolas para as mesmas, garantindo a segurança alimentar dos moradores.

Com a ajuda dessas pessoas, as crianças que jogam futebol por lá conseguiram patrocinadores na Irlanda para a criação e confecção de seus uniformes.

Through the sponsorship program, it is possible to help finance the students' tuition fees, study materials and uniforms.The godfather or godmother monitors the academic development of their godchildren by exchanging letters and currently 60 teenagers benefit from access to education throughout the school year.
