Hope of the Generation Uganda (HOGU) is a rural community based organization that has been working to promote the health and well being of youth in Uganda since 2005. HOGU plans to carry out 4 Grassroot Soccer Camps in 2020.  Each 1 week camp brings together 60 students from 3 different schools from the villages around HOGU's catchment area. HOGU will be able to impact the lives of 240 students over the course of the year if our fundraising goal is reached.  We need your help to make this happen!  

Some background information: HOGU carries out several activities throughout the year, one in particular incorporates much needed life skill training into the sports that boys and girls  play such as soccer and volleyball.  In the sports clubs and camps children learn how to set goals, plan for the future, make positive choices, and learn about health topics that are relevant to them such as HIV prevention and menstrual hygiene management. Sports clubs are a proven way to engage youth in healthy dialogue and provide them with social support as they navigate adolescence.

GrassrootSoccer (GRS) organization has provided HOGU leaders with specific training and an evidence based curriculum that leverages the power of soccer to educate, inspire, and mobilize youth to overcome their greatest health challenges.
