Located in Gqeberha, South Africa, Y-Stay offers affordable group accommodation for school trips, church camps, family functions, and travelling teams. What makes Y-Stay different is that your stay directly supports the work of YMCA Nelson Mandela Bay.

Your stay funds real change in schools

Our young YMCA facilitators visit schools across the metro. They work directly with learners and lead programmes that focus on:

• Advocacy and youth leadership

• Transformative Masculinity and positive identity

• Substance Abuse Prevention

• School shoe campaign restoring dignity

• Sanitary towel drives for girls who cannot afford products

Every booking at Y-Stay helps us cover transport, materials, and resources. Your stay gets our team into more schools, reaching more young people.
