About Us

Young swimming stars Sports Academy is the new hope for children in Uganda. It's a small and growing charity that helps some of the most disadvantaged children in Uganda. YSSA is currently operating the capital Kampala. Its mission is to provide practical support, such as education and healthcare, to improve children's quality of life, advance their rights and give them a better future. 

For HOPE, no effort is too big, no need is too small. From 2007 YSSSA has supported over 700 children.
YSSA was founded in 2007 with a very specific ethos; to keep costs low, ensuring supporters' donations go directly to children who need it. It achieves this with the help of corporate support and thanks to the generosity of its volunteers who give both their time and money. This ethos remains at the forefront of YSSA's work, enabling it to offer crucial support to those that need it the most.
