MYTO Single Mothers Group
The cafe's Uji and Ndazi, with the catering team and American volunteer Kendle Wade.

MYTO Single Mothers group began in 2003. They have established a cafe and catering business cooking for weddings, funerals, church events, etc. Employing one person each month to run the cafe, their goal is to create more employment opportunities. Their Single Mothers Football/Soccer Team practices three times a week and play in local tournaments and leagues when they can raise the transportation fees. Their future goals include expanding the cafe into a hostel; buying a pump to sell kerosene to the community; buying soccer uniforms and equipment; and getting a computer.

Mission Statement

MYTO Vision Statement

We envision a community in which youth, women and children are able to facilitate their own development. To transform youths from uncalled for social interaction to capable youths who can be a resource to society.

Description

In 2004, Mathare was one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Nairobi. According to Mathare residents, there were frequent muggings, rapes, and drug deals. Mathare resident Ben Ochieng decided to start a youth group to do development work in the community after seeing TV documentaries about youth groups starting development projects in other parts of Kenya. Together with Elizabeth Otieno and Okidi Onesmus, he founded the Mathare Youth Talented Organization (MYTO) on May 2 nd, 2004. Their mission statement is "to transform youths from uncalled for social interaction to capable youths who can be a resource to society."
