"I like playing football and telling stories. I enjoy the football training sessions with our football coach. I dream of becoming a professional football coach so that I can also help young people to develop their talents in football."

My story

In my family, we have seven children and we all stay with our mother. Our father has passed away. Our mother is a shop attendant and she uses her earnings to take care of us at home.

Why Marco needs our help

Mugenyi Mike was identified as a talented boy in football by the UP4S coach. He was brought to UP4S in order to get better education and also be helped in developing his football talent. His mother alone could not afford this. Mike also needs help with uniforms, books and feeding during the school term.

Marco is supported by impact partner HOP Centre
