OMBETJA YEHINGA ORGANISATION

Ombetja Yehinga Organisation (OYO) is a Namibian Trust aiming at creating social awareness among young people using Arts.

MISSION

The organisation aims at using the arts - both visual and performing – to create awareness and mitigate the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and other social problems such as domestic violence, rape, and the abuse of alcohol and other drugs amongst the youth of Namibia.

VISION

OYO’s vision is to develop a society in which there is broad access to information and the arts. By developing their creative skills, young people empower themselves to make informed choices, and thus become more prosperous, increase their life expectancy, and improve the quality of their live.
