Our Story: Empowering Tanzanian Youth
In the vibrant city of Arusha, Tanzania, Violet Ayoub felt a calling in 2008 to ignite change beyond her local church congregation, witnessing firsthand the power of community initiatives to transform young lives. Recognizing the need for a broader impact, she envisioned Vision for Youth (V4Y) to empower Tanzanian youth with opportunities for healthy choices, economic engagement, and active citizenship.
Violet’s journey began with a seed of hope, cultivated through her work within the church community, and grew as she shared her vision with passionate individuals committed to uplifting Tanzanian youth. Together, they embarked on a mission to create a space where every young person could flourish, breaking down barriers and uniting diverse backgrounds.
Through tireless dedication, V4Y officially registered in 2011 as a beacon of hope and transformation. Firm in their belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive, V4Y prioritizes success and equity, guided by collaboration, respect, and accountability as they empower Tanzanian youth to shape a brighter future.
