Support for the CSCA programme by providing shelter, care and various activities for children and youth from disadvantaged groups, including refugees
| Implementing entity: | Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Nairobi | Co-financing: | PLN 80,556 |
The Children Sport Charity Academy (CSCA) is a NGO established by a Polish woman living in Uganda with a view to equalizing the opportunities of children from disfavoured communities, including children of refugees. Through sport and vocational training, CSCA tries to offer children prospects other than living on the streets. CSCA alumni take part in national and international sport competitions. The children are also taught a profession so that they can earn their living in the future. Often, the CSCA founders are their sole carers.
The project included renovating the gym, purchasing classroom equipment, computers, sewing machines and sport equipment, as well as renting premises where young people could be trained (in computer literacy or sewing and cutting). Some courses and sport activities were conducted by CSCA alumni who acquired education and a job thanks to the organization’s support, and are now repaying their debt of kindness.
