Sports for Development in Uganda
Each year they choose a different country and a different theme. In 2012 your school can help change the lives of children Uganda by funding Sports for Development programmes.
We believe that sport can be used to engage children, developing their confidence, talent, skills and sense of teamwork. It is essential for their physical, mental and social development.
