Watoto Wasoka Slum Derby
Donation protected
Watoto Wasoka – Football made in Slums – was founded in 2009. Watoto Wasoka is a local NGO based in the heart of Kampala’s largest slum Bakuli. We are a non-profit, community – led youth development organization which uses the vibrant passion for football as a vehicle for positive social change in the life of slum and street children.
Our Mission is to create purposeful opportunities for play in a safe environment. We aim is to change lives of slum children in Uganda through football – one game at a time.
As one of our main support concepts, we facilitate access to primary and secondary education for slum and street kids. Through our close ties with the local slum football scene and public and private schools, we have a unique network which has enabled more than 400 kids to attend school which they would otherwise not have. We also run two of Uganda’s most exciting football events for disadvantaged youths: the annual Christmas Camp and Slums Derby, whose last editions were attended by 1,800 and 600 kids from all across Uganda respectively.
Besides football, we offer health education (WASH / HIV/AIDS), vocational training (ICT), school / homework support and a place to call home and go to either during school holidays or when times are too rough. We also organize regular workshops with external partners on relevant topics such as drug abuse for our kids
This years´ slum derby is scheduled for 20 and 21May 2017.We are expecting over 700 boys( aged 10-13 years) andn girls_(aged 15-20 years) forthe two days football games and WASH workshops.
Your donations will help to pay for the venues where the games will be held , buy equipments like Footballs, boots, food and clean drinking, buy prizes(trophies, medals and other accolades),security ,media coverage and administration costs. We need the funds as soon possible to ensure early bookings anb purchases of neccessary requirements and materials.
