Voice of Youth Tanzania (VOYOTA) is a non-governmental, non-partisan, youth-led and not-for-profit organization founded in 2012 as a street movement known as Talanta Mtaani (Movement for Street Notorious Talents). Located in Usa-River in Arusha Tanzania, the organization is dedicated to improve peoples’ lives, particularly under-resourced youth. As a youth and community centered organization, we believe in the youth. Therefore, most of our programs are designed to address their struggles, wishes and aspirations. These programs are tailored to cultivate and inspire them to unleash their inner potential and take advantage of the available opportunities in uplifting themselves and the community at large. Our central goal is to help young people to take the front-seats in the struggle for a decent and good life.

VOYOTA started in 2012 as a street movement known as Talanta Mtaani (Movement for Street Notorious Talents) that was created by the vibrant youths. The movement was initiated with a sole purpose of inspiring and motivating the underserved youth to unlock their potential. Through capacity building programs, young people were trained and empowered to utilize their talents for a lasting fulfillment. Due to its major impact, Talanta Mtaani was transformed from a street movement to a fully registered organization in July 2017 and is now known as “Voice of Youth Tanzania – VOYOTA”.
