Mathare is one of the largest and poorest slums in Africa. Disease is widespread and AIDS has stolen the lives of many in the community. MYSA pioneers the use of football as a tool for change. At the heart of MYSA are football leagues with thousands of boys and girls participating.
Since 1987, the Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA) has pioneered the use of football as a tool to encourage co-operation, raise self-esteem and promote physical and environmental health in the Mathare community.
MYSA was the very first Laureus-supported project and has twice been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
