Mission Statement
X-street Uganda is a nonprofit organization dedicated to better quality of life of vulnerable Children in Uganda through life skills and sports Development.
Description
The academy is non profit and works with children. We reach out to vulnerable children exploring their potential by inspiring them through sports and life skills. After realising that children love sports, we realised it is the best way they can learn and their full potential explored. The founder being a person with great passion of basketball, started this non profit first starting with the sport he was more fond of and familiar with- Basketball. Then i was joined later on by other people with similar interests. Now the academy runs as a non profit running in Walukuba-Masese Division one of the suburban areas in Uganda with the most vulnerable children, and amazingly...it is working, Children are learning and getting talented too. We have partnered with several schools in the area and we take our life skills program there too. We have also introduced other several sports volleyball inclusive though basketball still remains our champion sport
