Impact of our work
Over the years our work has impacted our target beneficiaries and the following are report of our impact since 2019.
180 Coaches trained on inclusive sports.
The biggest barrier to achieving inclusion is the knowledge gap—many coaches lack the skills to effectively include children with disabilities in sports and games. ASA empowers and trains coaches in adaptation techniques and physical literacy.
Our goal is to reach over 5000 games and sports teachers and community coaches to promote inclusion in sports.
1700 Children and youth with disabilities engaged in sports.
Since the year 2019, ASA has significantly expanded its efforts to engage with a greater number of schools and communities across Northern Uganda. Through these dedicated initiatives, an increasing number of children have been given the valuable opportunity to fully participate in various sports activities. Our ambitious goal is to reach and positively impact the lives of 100,000 children with disabilities (CWDs), ensuring they have access to inclusive sports programs and the benefits that come with active participation.
