The most active aspect of the sports program is football (soccer), children and youths are trained from a young age to develop their talents and skills in football (soccer) and a chance to learn team building and communication skills. We also recently introduced badminton and netball in this program
THE MUSIC PROGRAM ; in this program kids and youths are taught music instruments including guitar, keyboards and ukulele but hoping to extend the lessons furthermore in various instruments like violin(and other string instruments ), drums, piano, brass instruments and woodwind instruments. Kids are encouraged to express their feeling through playing instruments and singing. The program’s core value is “spreading love through music world wide”.
THE DANCING PROGRAM; This program includes multiple workshops about dance from tap dance, break dance, Ugandan traditional dance, contemporary dance, afro-house dance and hip hop, in this program basics and body discipline are the most emphasized components of dance.
THE SCHOOL FEES PROGRAM; It so happens that we are operating in areas of disadvantaged people with limited opportunities, and inability to access basic social and economic needs.
This program was established to cater for children to at least be able to have a chance to go to school as a strategy for transforming them in responsible global citizens.
THE GIRLS’ PROGRAM; This program includes class and discussions geared towards girl’s empowerment, mentoring relationships, connects and bring girls from different backgrounds together to discuss women centered issues. The topics discussed are chosen by the girls and change regularly depending on current affairs involving girl’s issues. This program guides girl to safer health choices and their continued road to better healthy living.
THE ARTS AND CRAFTS PROGRAM; In this program children and the youth are trained how to tie and dye, painting, printing t-shirts, weaving, sculpture and ceramic making, jewelry and craft making and Art Theory for a clear understanding of art.
