THE USEA GAMES OF IMPACT 2026.

What if one game of football could help someone see a doctor for the first time? What if a day of fun could help save lives?. That's what the Games of Impact are all about.

Register your team for UGX 200,000, or join the games for just UGX 10,000. Every shilling goes beyond the field, it creates access to healthcare for those who need it most.

Have a business? Secure a vendor stall for UGX 100,000 and put your brand in front of a great audience while supporting a worthy cause.

⚽ Football. 🏐 Dodgeball. 🥔 Sack Race. 💪 Wife Carrying. And so much more.

@FAWEUganda @MastercardFdn @FAWEAfrica @Educ_SportsUg Indeed Fawe should be blessed. Thanks for that good work

[U.S. Embassy Kampala, Uganda @USEmbassyUganda]

We met with the @USAlumniUganda leadership to reflect on their work this past year, discuss future priorities, and learn more about their goal to establish regional Resource Centers throughout Uganda. The council, representing over 6,000 U.S. exchange alumni in Uganda, have taken their 🇺🇸 experiences to make an impact in their 🇺🇬 communities. Keep up the good work, team!

[U.S. Exchange Alumni Uganda @USAlumniUganda]

Leadership experiences create lasting impact, especially when they are translated into action within our communities.

We are proud to celebrate the story of our Alumna, @ntendebaker , Founder of @Techreachafrica , whose journey through the @WashFellowship at Louisiana State University continues to shape his leadership and commitment to community-driven innovation.

His experience reflects the power of the Fellowship in strengthening resilience, fostering inclusive leadership, and building a global network of changemakers dedicated to creating sustainable impact.

It is inspiring to see these lessons being applied through @Techreachafrica , expanding digital literacy and technology opportunities for underserved communities and equipping more people with the skills needed to thrive in today's digital economy.
We are proud to celebrate alumni who continue to transform their communities through innovation, leadership, and service.

@USAlumniUganda @USEmbassyUganda @AweAlumnae @MWFAlumniUganda @WashFellowship @SUSIUg_Alumni @YALIRLCAlumniUg From the secondary school program called PAYLP currently known as YAAF, leadership is one of the pillars I stand on now , enthusiasm, care and kindness to one another.

[U.S. Exchange Alumni Uganda @USAlumniUganda]

It's #TGIF (Thank God It's Friday), and as we continue celebrating #Freedom250, let's take a moment to reflect on the experiences that have shaped us through our U.S. exchange journeys.

What are you grateful for?

Maybe it's the people you met, the places you visited, the memories you made, the lessons you learned, the opportunities that followed, or the impact you have created since returning home. Perhaps it's the connection with the U.S. Embassy, the friendships that became lifelong networks, or simply the confidence to dream bigger.

Share your story in a post and tell us what your U.S. exchange experience means to you. Then, tag another U.S. Exchange Alumni and invite them to do the same. Let's create a ripple effect by celebrating the people, experiences, and opportunities that continue to shape our lives and communities.

Your story could inspire someone else to lead, serve, innovate, or apply for a life-changing exchange opportunity.

Who's next? Tag an alumnus or alumna and pass on the #TGIF challenge

Our December Book Review & Christmas Carols Karaoke Wind Down was everything we needed in the festive cheer😀

#ChaptersOfChange December read - Who Will Cry When You Die? by Robin Sharma sparked a powerful conversation yesterday about intentional living and the legacy we are building every single day led by our own @AngeloAsinguza

One lesson that really stayed with us: “The tragedy of life isn’t death, but what you let die within you while you live.” Norman Cousins

We reflected on simple but timeless reminders that small, consistent acts truly shape extraordinary lives and leaders that we aspire to become in community say planting a tree, eating well, waking up early, scheduling our worries, and show up with purpose each day.

We wrapped up the evening with joyful carols led by alumni, shared laughter, and meaningful conversations over a meals🥳

A huge thank you to everyone who joined and made the evening so memorable and commits to live everyday with integrity and humility. Here’s to carrying these lessons forward into the year ahead 🥂.

If you’ve read the book, what lessons stood out for you? Share with us in the comments 👇🏽
