About MYRC

Our Mission

The Manyatta Youth Resource Centre (MYRC) is a multi-faceted Community Based Organization (CBO) serving the low-income neighborhoods of Kisumu, Kenya. We are dedicated to improving the lives of our young people, our communities, and ultimately our nation by helping participants learn skills, work together peacefully to achieve positive goals, and have fun along the way. 

Founded in 2009 by a group of community members, the MYRC has moved from its base in a corrugated metal shed, to hosting community events, classes, meetings, and art shows at its compound. We have a recording studio and computer access.  Our sports program, which started as a single Under-14 team, has been built into an academy for both boys and girls ranging in age from youth into young adulthood.
