About NAHYSOSA
The National Association of Hellenic Youth and Student Organisations of South Africa
(NAHYSOSA) is a non-profit organisation, founded in 1981. Our ongoing success is an
achievement that we are proud of and highlights the solidarity that we bring among all
the Hellenic Youth of South Africa.
Our achievements and contributions have been recognized nationally (by the South
African Government and the Federation of Hellenic Communities and Societies of South
Africa), as well as internationally by the Greek and
Cypriot Governments, through SAE Africa/Middle East channels.
The NAHYSOSA is an umbrella body consisting of 9 member-committees that are based
countrywide, with at least one committee in each major area of South Africa. We can
truly claim that we are representative of all Hellenic Youth throughout South Africa.
Membership to the NAHYSOSA is accessible to every Hellenic Youth and we currently
boast in the region of 4000 members on our central database.
The NAHYSOSA has various initiatives that aim to unite the Hellenic Youth of South
Africa; to maintain and preserve our rich Hellenic heritage and culture; and to assist
Young Hellenes and those less fortunate. Our main initiatives include:

together and promoting the Hellenic ethos - A meeting of all the 9 member-committees twice a year, allowing us to identify and
discuss various issues affecting the Hellenic youth - A 10-day National Congress that allows over 100 Hellenic Youth the opportunity to
meet and interact with fellow Hellenes from around the country & the world. - A Bursary Fund (founded in 1998) that has assisted many Hellenes through their
tertiary education. - A Medical Assistance Initiative (founded in 2003) that has provided emergency funds to
Hellenes in need of medical care. - Hosting the Miss Hellene Pageant in conjunction with the Hellenic Radio.
- Regular donations to various Hellenic and South African charities
