The YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) was founded in 1844 by Sir George Williams in London, with a mission to uphold Christian values by offering programs that nurture the development of a healthy spirit, mind, and body. From its inception, the YMCA has aimed to create a community rooted in Christian principles like love, service, and social responsibility.

Originally established as a refuge for young men facing the challenges of urban life, the YMCA has consistently focused on personal growth, spiritual enrichment, and social involvement. Over time, it has expanded to meet the evolving needs of its communities while remaining committed to its Christian heritage.

Today, the YMCA continues to deliver programs that promote holistic development, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity, compassion, and community service. We remain dedicated to our founding mission, promoting Christian values and making a lasting impact on lives worldwide.
