About Yatapita Community Organization
Yatapita organizes accessible sports and education activities for children and young people in the Daraja Mbili neighborhood in Arusha, Tanzania. Within the sports program, training sessions are provided to children aged 8 to 17 on rented fields, schoolyards, and other public spaces. The organization also regularly organizes matches against other NGOs and school teams, using sports to strengthen cooperation, social skills, and connection. In the educational field, Yatapita offers small-scale education to children aged 3 to 6, with a focus on playful and creative learning. Additionally, the children receive daily meals. For older children, depending on available resources, after-school activities are organized such as sports, dance, and creative workshops. Volunteers assist with training, education, and practical tasks, and contribute to new initiatives and fundraising. Yatapita also provides guidance and accommodation to international volunteers, thereby stimulating cultural exchange and mutual understanding.
