More about Fields of Dreams Uganda
Fields of Dreams Uganda believes that the power of sports in a child’s life can make a lasting impact. Our trained staff teach the game of soccer to thousands of children each year, but more importantly we work at shaping the person inside the player. In Uganda, where 68% of children in government schools drop out before finishing their primary education, soccer can be the impetus to keep children engaged in their education and future goals for their life. The programming of FoDU covers a variety of educational areas, but soccer is the hook for the engagement of our staff members in a child's life. FoDU's mission is to provide hope, empowerment and a future to the vulnerable children of Uganda through the vehicles of soccer and education. Sometimes hope is round, and it just happens to arrive in the form of a soccer ball.
