Power of Sports
Uganda is one of the most poorest country in the whole world , its people living under poverty and in different challenging environments,therefore sports for many young people is a way out, a breather, a peaceful bubble.
Sport and development is a very special and needed tool in Uganda and we see it evolving in my country.
Tennis For All Uganda focus on sports for development, we reach out and empower young people living in slums of Kampala through sports (Tennis) focusing on different issues related to the needs of the area we work in, economic and infrastructure development, gender issues, human rights and discussions, youth capacity building, encouraging healthy lifestyles and promoting vocational education.
It has proved to be successful in the many disadvantaged communities (slums) which we implemented and we believe that building on them will develop these communities by having more players in the field where, for example, youth can reflect and spread their experiences to others.
Sport and development will be an important sector that will gain popularity for the attractiveness of sport and the benefits it brings to the community.
We believe that through sport and development the effect and impact on youth and societies in general is big; it will trigger governments to adopt it in its youth policies or strategies, to take it into consideration as a crucial tool to develop the community on different levels as well as developing the curriculums at the grassroots level to adopt the methodology of sport and development.
We therefore hope that sport and development becomes a crucial tool in community development, focusing on different aspects implemented on a country level and part of a policy/strategy.
We can fight youth unemployment in Uganda through sport for development. Therefore, the topic of education and economic development through sport and development would be something that we would like to see adopted on a governmental level in the next eight years. Especially in a country like Uganda, sport is a powerful tool for development.
Indeed sport development is a great way through which the many employed youths in Uganda can be able to be helped out though building the sport talent in them which they can use for their personal development and improvement of their standards of living. You are doing a great job in Uganda. Just keep it up! Looking forward for more updates about your project. I know it's a bit tough for you right now seeing that the nation is still under lock-down.
