Sky Sports Football
Through engaging players in a physical and practical way, our coaches are able to not only model good sporting behaviour on the pitch, but also healthy relationships, a strong work ethic and quality Christian values off it as well.
The success of this project has meant select players have been scouted and received full scholarships to some of the country’s top schools, and a large number of players have been selected to represent the East of Uganda in national games.
*The teams were self-named after a donation of ‘Sky Sports’ branded football kit and balls from ‘Sky’, one of the UK’s biggest TV providers.
Youth Prison
JENGA is the only organisation to have gained government permission to step in and meet the needs of this often unreached group, encouraging and discipling in a prison where the possibility of outside visitation is unpredictable and often challenging.
Through engaging conversation with caring friends, biblical teaching, and access to many material needs such as soap and food, youth in the remand prison are treated with respect and dignity at a time when even their most basic rights have been stripped.
Pioneer Children's Club
Tailored to fit the adolescent needs of the community, this programme is focussed on the problems and concerns of a typical teenager. The programme is predominantly education based, with relevant guidance and counselling covering topics such as health, hygiene, morals, sex, healthy relationships and positive life choices. Having a safe forum to express desires and feelings and to receive educated, informed guidance is critical for full, future lives – JENGA’s Pioneer Club provides that space.
Young Leaders
Carefully selected young men and women, who have been identified as potential leaders in their churches, schools and neighbourhoods, are enrolled in a structured discipleship programme. Through training and intentional mentoring, these young people are equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and inspiration to make a positive change to bring transformation to all spheres of society.
