Githunguri Youth Sports and Empowerment Association (GYSEA) is a sports and rehabilitation centre whose mission is to mentor and empower youth in its served communities using sports as a mobilisation tool. GYSA was founded in 2001 and is registered in Kiambu County, Kenya.

GYSEA is currently empowering over 2,000 youth in Kiambu and Lamu counties in Kenya. It uses radicalization to pull the youth under 17 from being recruited into illegal groupings or falling prey to drugs and substance abuse. In partnership with the National and county government departments, GYSEA has organized events at community levels and schools to fight vice and keep youth busy and healthy.

All players are trained to be role models, thus enhancing their personal development. During the sports tournaments, the youth educators facilitate capacity building sessions in life skills, career counseling and mentorship and avoiding drugs and substance abuse, HIV/AIDS. For the increasing numbers they worked out a strategy to keep the youth busy throughout, and this led to the formation of leagues with different themes. As an exit strategy for 18 to 35-year- old students, the organization is incorporating enterprise development training and sensitization on Government procurement opportunities available for youth.
