X-SUBA (X-Street Uganda Basketball Academy) is a non profit using the power of play and sport to empower and educate children and youth to overcome effects of poverty, conflict and disease in disadvantaged communities in Uganda.
On IDSDP X-SUBA have partnered with local schools and organised a sports connection day, bringing together programme participants, school children and those of the wider community to meet up in a safe space to play various sports.
Partnering with Stevnsgade Basketball Club, X-SUBA have gathered equipment, clothing and facilities for the day. The day will not just be able utilising the power of sport to bring together the community but will act as a time where children can share stories and connect beyond sport with others.
X-SUBA strongly advocate inclusive sport and on IDSDP it will be launching its I AM A KICKER programme which advocates inclusive sport, using football as a tool to empower women, creating a gender balance environment where both girls and boys can freely participate in competitive sport.
