👨👩👧👦 Community Parenting Seminars
Last week, we held two community seminars focused on parenting, bringing together around 150 people in both Mbale and Manafwa Districts.
Many of those who attended are already part of our village savings groups, providing a great opportunity to come together, learn and share experiences. We were particularly encouraged by the number of men who attended both seminars! 🧡
The sessions created space for teaching, discussion and honest conversations around parenting, with many good discussions taking place throughout the day.
We loved seeing people leave the seminars feeling hopeful, with new ideas and encouragement to strengthen their families and communities.
It’s wonderful to see the relationships built through our village savings groups creating opportunities for people to learn and grow together 🌱

⚽ From Football to Education
JENGA’s Sky Sports Football Academy ( Sky Sports Soccer Club ) uses football coaching to identify and develop local talent, while mentoring young people and encouraging them to make healthy and positive choices for their lives.
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate the achievements of some of our players, whose dedication and footballing talent have opened doors to further education scholarships. Their success shows how sport can create opportunities, build confidence and help young people pursue a brighter future 🧡
Five young men have received scholarships for further education:
🎓 Emmanuel Kwiri – Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology
🎓 Timothy Otim – Bachelor’s Degree in Education
🎓 Felix Wekoye – Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology
🎓 Shariff Kuloba – Diploma in Information Technology
🎓 Yusuf Khaukha – Certificate in Information Technology
All five have now joined their respective institutions and begun their studies.
And pictured alongside them (photo 4) is Jeremiah Wamanga, aged 14, who is currently in Senior 1 and has been awarded a scholarship to support his secondary education through FIFA’s Schools of Excellence Programme.
Alongside this academic opportunity, Jeremiah’s footballing talent has also earned him the honour of captaining Uganda’s U15 Eastern Region team! 🇺🇬
We’re so proud to see how Sky Sports Football Academy is helping develop the young players who come through our programmes - both on and off the pitch.
Well done to all six young men! 🧡
