Youth Control Society (YOCOSO)
YOCOSO is a Tanzanian organization founded in 2008 by a group of 10 youth dedicated to reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS and drug use in the Moshi area of Tanzania. They empower youth through providing peer education on issues of life skills, reproductive and sexual health and a variety of other topics. Using games, drama as well as traditional teaching methods, YOCOSO has been highly successful in raising awareness and improving sexual health practices in the communities in which they have worked. We are thrilled to have had a long-standing relationship with them in the running of our Conscious Living Seminars and our recent Conscious Crew Club school programs.

stone + cloth
stone + cloth is a US company founded by Matthew Clough. He traveled to Tanzania to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro where he met Benson, a porter who was instrumental in his successful climb. After learning that Benson was unable to make enough money to put his child through school, Matthew realized he wanted to create an organization to help get the kids in Tanzania the education they deserve. He created stone + cloth with the motto, “carry an education” and sells a variety of backpacks, bags and smaller utility cases. 10% of the profit from every purchase goes directly to Knock to help pay for children’s education.
