Everyone has a story to tell. Our story begins with the youth we meet in refugee & host communities.
Watching them hold a rugby ball or basketball & experience structured sports for the 1st time is what makes our story special.
This is where transformation through sport begins

Listen to @akullu_ Melissa Akullu reflect on the impact of attending the Score Beyond camp in 2016.
10 years later, she still recalls the 6 days spent at Ssaku Sec School like they were yesterday.

During this camp, we held basketball training and mentorship sessions. One of our guest speakers was Esther Kalenzi of 40/40.
Can you guess some of the athletes in the NBL, Lower division and at international level who attended this camp?

In 2016, we held our first ever basketball camp at Ssaku S.S. This was the first of the many camps we have held over the 10 years of our existence. For the next couple of weeks, we bring you stories of some of the players that attended our camp & where they are now.
Day 2 was an opportunity for the students of Adjumani Girls Primary School to learn basic skills in rugby and soccer.
The sessions were led by the trained coaches which gave them an opportunity to put into practice what they learned.
The sessions were led by Wayne Thompson, a facilitator from Sembeza Africa.
This is part of our endeavor to improve capacity of coaches in the Greater North.
