The Okra Network

At Watoto Wasoka, they celebrate yet another exciting and successful year of social impact through football in Uganda. Their health programs received prestigious awards; in October, they received the Sport Impact Awards in Dakar for the BUREF mental health program, and earlier in the year, they were awarded the iF Social Impact Prize as the designer of the Football 4 WASH program funded by their dear friends of Viva con Agua. But what is most important to them: despite significant financial challenges, they were able to again support 100 boys and girls through the WYLA Scholarship scheme, giving these kids access to quality primary and secondary education which they would otherwise not have had.

They have big plans for 2024, but are now excited to end 2023 on a high note: with the annual Watoto Wasoka Christmas Camp; a week of football, fun, food, and 2,500 kids from all over Uganda. From 28th December to 4th January, they shall again host 2,500 kids for a week filled with smiles, skills, celebrations, a joyous retreat from the harsh reality these kids are forced to call their daily lives. As always, girls’ football continues to be a big part of their work, and this year’s edition will be another opportunity to give girls the opportunity they duly deserve on and off the pitch.

Watoto Wasoka will accommodate, feed, and provide clean drinking water to all attending kids. Their team will organize daily sessions and matches for the kids and manage the camp to ensure that it becomes another harmonic and joyful event. However, to host a special and successful camp, they rely on monetary support for the expected costs:

Venue EUR 1,500
Food EUR 4,500
Prizes&footballs EUR 3,000
Miscellaneous EUR 1,000
They express their gratitude for the support!
