Youth Empowering Initiative (YEI)

Sponsors, Volunteers, Donors

YEI was founded in July 2004 by youth volunteers in Kasese district, western Uganda, who were concerned about the lack of effective information and services related to HIV/AIDS in their community.

Many people were at the time dying of what was then called 'a mysterious disease' which was often blamed on witchcraft.

The realization of the true outlook of the disease made it clear to the founders that several people were dying of AIDS because of lack of information about the disease and available treatment options. This motivated them to start YEI with the intention of sensitizing the community about the scourge, and extending prevention and care services to those who need them most.

Helping kids with a financial need in the motorsport world.

Challenges Entered: 
Our primary goal is to raise funds to assist children ages 5 to 18 involved in motor sports.  These funds provide equipment and cover other expenses to enable the children we sponsor to continue to compete in this exciting and challenging sport.  Every child deserves to be able to compete in their selected sport, regardless of their economic means. The average cost per child per year to be competitively involved in racing is $10,000.00; many can not afford to compete without assistance.  In this day and age, encouraging children to do something positive is of increasing importance.  A sport is one mechanism to provide the focus, discipline and self-esteem so many children need today.
