Welcome to the home of SOKOLO
Embark with us on a mission to transform lives and make a meaningful difference. Through education, sports, and technology, we’re dedicated to empowering those who need it most and creating a lasting impact.
MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
As Chairman of SOKOLO, I am proud to lead an organization that is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and youth in Uganda. Through the powerful combination of sports, education, and technology, we are empowering young people to reach their full potential and create a brighter future.
At SOKOLO, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. That’s why we’re committed to providing access to quality education, sports training, and technology skills. Our programs are designed to help young people develop the skills, confidence, and character they need to thrive in life.
I am humbled by the impact we’ve had so far. We’ve seen young people who were once marginalized and excluded become leaders and change-makers in their communities. We’ve witnessed the transformative power of sports and education in helping children overcome adversity and achieve their dreams.
But our work is far from over. There are still many young people in Uganda who lack access to the opportunities they deserve. That’s why we’re committed to continuing our work, to expanding our programs and reaching even more young people.
At SOKOLO, we’re not just changing lives – we’re changing the future. Join us in our mission to empower the next generation of leaders and change-makers.
