BACKGROUND the stars of peace youth alliance was founded in June 2010 and the organization is a registered with the ministry of social and gender. The inspiration of the organization was embedded and the reason behind the formation of the organization is to bring cohesion and peaceful co-existence amongst different marginalized ethnic groups of our people who feel neglected, poor representation and isolated. Since they can not aggressively access service e.g. health, education and stand for there rights and they can express themselves freely. Thus the need to come together and help one anther for both economic and social empowerment

About us we are a group of young men and women who have come together to bridge our diversity and make it work for our benefit and the anther community at large. S.P.Y.A works to help the youth better chance and quality of living by improving their talent using limited resources in doing so S.P.Y.A aim to help the transformation of youths from lives of crime and drug abuse to self-reliance and into promote peace and justice in the globalize .we are advising young people to stand firm and join hands for a better tomorrow. We are appealing to everybody not to view us a political or religious based organization but as people who are out to help other, the quote of the organization is `restoring the lost hope’. Currently we rely on donation of premise for our meeting place. Which we do twice a month

GOAL: to contribute to sustainable development in order to reduce poverty, promote democratic governance and contribute to more secure, equitable and prosperous world.

our core value: the four absolute

Ø absolute honesty: that searchlight that reveals the truth about ourselves. In its light we face our shame and our shadows.

Ø Absolute of purity: freedom, of course, from lust and sexual abuse in all its forms, but also a quality of single-mindedness, cleanliness and non-attachment. The freedom to love without demanding anything in return

Ø Absolute unselfishness: the art of literal living. With a mind and a heart for others. If we are to make poverty history, we will need to make greed unacceptable.

Ø Absolute unconditional love: the ultimate answer and the fundamental need of every person and of Earth itself.
