History
The genesis of Trans-nzoia Youth Sports Association (TYSA) is a culmination of a long search for an organization that would bring together all grass roots sporting, cultural and other communal group activities to a district and beyond level. This desire to share sporting and cultural experiences within and without the district brought the need to register an organization that would facilitate and coordinate the various sports, cultural and educational programs.
Over the years, due to increased demand, the scope of the organization has expanded to include: Health, Environment, economic empowerment, Advocacy, Governance, Peace building
Trans-nzoia Youth Sports Association was registered in 2001 as a community based organization in Kenya. (Reg. No. TN/5179/8/2001).
