SYPO was started in 2003 to help partner organisation Pat the Child initiate the 'Yoghurt Project'. In this project, pregnant Friesian cows were donated to local women who were willing but financially unable to adopt local orphans. In the same project SYPO enabled Pat the Child to start a yoghurt factory which created a local market for the cows' milk and revenues for the NGO Pat the Child. The yoghurt is sold under the name Life Dairy throughout the Mukono District. After completion of this first project in 2007, SYPO decided to continue its operations, starting new projects aimed at entrepreneurship and economic development.SYPO's history
