Empowering Youth Through Sports and Environmental Conservation

Welcome to the Satellite Primary Schools Programme (SPSP), a transformative initiative by Sembeza Africa, RAC, and SportsUganda Ltd (UK). Our program intertwines sports and environmental conservation to impact young lives across Uganda.

​

Our mission

We are committed to building an inclusive, active, and environmentally aware generation by combining sports with Sustainable Development Goals:

• SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education.

• SDG 13: Combat climate change through sustainable action.

 

What we do

Our program has four main hubs in Uganda, impacting thousands of children:

1. Akadot Primary School, Kumi District

2. Xsabo Stadium, Kati-Kolo, Mukono District

3. Ogul Primary School and Prisons Ground, Gulu District

4. Karibu International School, Iganga District

We promote physical education, conservation, and life skills, creating opportunities for youth to thrive and learn.
