OUR HISTORY

DAYO started as a theatre group in 2005 by 7 young persons in Kisauni Constituency of Mombasa County. This group used theatre approach to sensitize the community on health issues facing young people. The theatre group had a fluid leadership committee consisting of a Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and theatre/drama trainer while other members constituted the group as members. In 2009 the group was registered as a Community Based Organization (CBO) to advance its mandate through the support from well-wishers in the community that constituted the organizational Advisory Board. In 2021, DAYO developed a Board Charter defining its roles and responsibilities that has guided review and development of organizational policies and current upgrade of organizational mandate as a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) in 2022
