The
Unarmed Youth (TUY), set up in August 1st 2004, is a non-governmental,
non -religious, non - ethnic, non - profit, social organization, set up
to promote peace, love and harmony among youths in the world.
The organization was formed due to, the present state of the world's future leaders: THE YOUTH.
The
Youths of today are the leaders of tomorrow is a popular adage, but
what future would these youth have? Now that a large number of the
youths indulge themselves in militant groups, cultism, armed-robbery,
Hired-Assassins, suicide bombers or engaged in anti-social activities
and fraudulent practices.
This organization is aimed at youth
disarmament and non-violence. TUY is aimed at making youths to see the
future without war, and to take dialogue as the best approach to
conflict resolutions.
The future depends largely on the youths
and only when they are made to realize that only them can make better
or mar their future, would they see the light at the end of the tunnel.
This is the vision of The Unarmed Youth (TUY).
Our Mission Statement:
Promoting
peace, harmony and love among youths worldwide, thereby creating a
better future for our future leaders and followers.
We have been organising LECTURES/SEMINARS for secondary school students, where we preach non-violence and peace.
