YES Organisation

YES is a non-profit organisation focused on orphans youth education through friendship support with an aim to encourage the orphan's physical, mental, social and spiritual development. This approach makes an active positive difference to the life's of the orphans youth, their communities and the world.
YES formula is very simple. We bring together the orphans youth who need support and friends with patience, time to give and a love of reading and learning. We train the friends their task, resource them with information and support them throughout their voluntary friendship with us. Everyone gains - the youth and the volunteer friend. And many of the youth we help develop a difference in their life's too.
Today, YES has its international contact office in Berkshire Scout Enterprises Limited in UK and the 1st. project implementation in Nairobi, Kenya.

YES Foundation:
Scouter Paul Kabao for a long time observed that Scouts Friends who had made irrevocable one -world-one promise was a large population that had tremendous potential to provide the required support. He believed that the Scouts Friends under-utilised potential can be unlocked by mobilising and organising them to start undertaking a variety of voluntary and challenging activities in Africa in order to acquire more knowledge and skills while responding either individually or within a team in providing the required orphan youth support.
He recalled that Baden Powell had once said that "...the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people".
Guided by the Scouting Principles, Scouter Kabao was determined to start a viable youth project in Kenya. This desire started to realise when at one time he was trying to link up with his one time Scout Friend Colin Bennett. But instead of connecting with Scouter Colin, he virtually met Scouter Chris Wilkinson who referred him to Scouter Alan Beavis who later became very supportive towards the foundation of YES.

Vision
YES vision is of a world in which all young people realize their full potential in societies that respects the basic rights and interests of others.

Mission
YES mission is to provide policy and strategic plan for mobilising resources available and coordinating activities to increase the capacity to provide education support services to orphan youth in Africa.

YES Berkshire School was symbolically officially launched on Sat. 25th. Feb. 2006 during a study trip in Kenya by the Polaris Scout Network from UK. The launch was held at the YES Centre in Dagoretti Division Nairobi Kenya by Mr. James Harris and Mr. Damian Walsh members of the Polaris Scout Network UK.The launch was presided over by Chief George M. Mukuria of Riruta Location in Nairobi Province, Scouter Joseph Njoroge, Teachers, YES Orphan Scouts, YES Berkshire School Students, YES Orphans in other Community Schools and Scouter Paul Kabao Founding Director YES Project.
One of the desires of the YES has been to have all the YES Orphan Students by then learning at various community schools brought together to study under one roof. This became possible when on Tuesday 25th. April 2006 Dr. Kang'ethe Wamaitha Gitu impressed by the work of YES (Youth Education Support), offered to donate a plot of land measuring 120 x 90 square feet on which to develop the proposed YES Centre.

YES Friends
YES Friends find the experience of friendship hugely rewarding. Not only do they learn new skills and make new youth friends in communities but they also experience a great sense of involvement by working with the youth during their friendly challenges.
YES provides the platform for support friends to have an opportunity to provide active youth support in in areas of education. They take time to listen, reason out and desire to support youth, develop their confidence and self-esteem.
Many youths come to YES Centre get support. Likewise, there are a large number of support friends who want to give something back to the community and to inspire a new generation of youth.
YES Friends of who subscribe to and agree with the idea of active support may start up YES Support Group in their own right with a desire to become more involved in youth support activities in Africa.
YES Friends support any project or program that promotes the youths. Many of you are already running this type of program and some of you may find the “need” to start a patrol in your community to support youths in Africa.
YES Friends aims to increase the financial, material, technical and moral support to the youth in Africa to enable them access quality and equitable education that will empower them to make real differences in their lives and for the subsequent generation.
YES Project is very interesting in that YES Friends actively participate in youth support challenges as they participate in educational tours and other voluntary development services in Africa.
