International Director

Swift Sports Organisation — Uganda, East Africa.

Swift Sports Organisation is a grassroots, community-based organisation located in Nansana Municipality, Wakiso District, Uganda.

Our journey began in 2018, when our founder and coach moved to Kiteezi with a simple but powerful dream: to use sport as a tool for addressing challenges within the community and creating opportunities for people who are often overlooked.

It started with small evening gatherings for netball and fitness training. One single mother joined the coach and invited three of her friends. From that modest beginning, a community movement began to grow.

With the support of a local school, which allowed us to use its playground three days a week, our activities soon attracted children, young people, women, and men from across the community. By 2019, we had established four clubs in different sporting categories. We participated in a seasonal tournament and proudly won a trophy, a goat, and UGX 500,000.

The achievement filled our members with excitement and gave us confidence in what we could build together.

Overcoming Challenges

Like many organisations around the world, our progress was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Our activities stopped, our structure was weakened, and many of our members were unable to continue.

However, our dream did not disappear.

We relocated with a small group of committed members to Kazo in Nansana Division, Wakiso District. We resumed training, welcomed new members, and slowly began rebuilding.

As our activities grew again, we realised that sports training alone could not address all the challenges facing the people we served. Together with several mature and committed members, our founder began developing the idea of becoming a formally recognised community-based organisation.

In 2022, Swift Sports Organisation was officially registered as a community-based organisation in Nansana Municipality.
