📸PHOTOS: An exciting and meaningful collaboration is underway between @YSUganda , @hashtag_gulu and @abilitysportsa1 as our senior trainers deliver a dynamic Sport for Development (S4D) training in Gulu.

Together, we are working hand-in-hand with these passionate teams to equip them with practical, high-energy tools to use sport as a tool to build confidence, teamwork, and essential life skills among persons with disabilities and street-connected children and youth. 💪🏾🌍

We are focusing on equipping participants with knowledge and skills to design and facilitate safe, inclusive and impactful sport activities. Because for us sport is more than https://t.co/ghIb9vVJvA is a pathway to economic empowerment and sustainable opportunities.

Through this process, learning is being translated into action, strengthening skills, and empowering the team to create lasting change within their communities.
