About Us

Built by the community. To empower the youth.

UNASEO — the Uganda–North America Sports and Education Organization — links Ugandans at home and abroad to grassroots youth sports and education programs.

Our story

Most people think a ball is the easy part of helping a child. Talent, they assume, finds its own way. Those of us who grew up in Uganda know better. We’ve watched gifted players disappear at sixteen. The talent didn’t fade; nobody stood beside them long enough. So we started UNASEO, not to build a charity, but to build a bridge to the next generation, giving them what we needed: equipment, coaching, and someone who believes in them.

Sport brings young people in; education, mentorship, and character keep them going. A pitch without a classroom produces a few stars and many young people left behind. A pitch with a classroom produces graduates, leaders and, yes, some stars too. UNASEO is a U.S. 501(c)(3) organization based in Alabama and a Registered Company Limited by Guarantee in Uganda, run by a committed management team and sustained by volunteers and people who give their time, money, and skills. Talent is everywhere in Uganda. Opportunity isn’t.
