Fields of Dreams Uganda

Fields of Dreams Uganda provides hope, empowerment and a future to the vulnerable children of Uganda through the vehicles of 

soccer and education.  The organization believes that the power of sports in a child's life can make a lasting impact, and often a 

quality education is the only thing that can lift a child out of poverty.  

 

Centenary has had several members go to Uganda to serve at the schools  and communities.  This year we were  a proud sponsor
 
of the 2024 Fields of Dreams Uganda 5k for Hope.  This takes place Oct 5th at the Vanderburgh county 4-H Center and virtually
 
around the world.  This race raised funds for the ongoing work across Uganda that serves over 5,000 students and teachers at
 
the nine partner schools. Funds will be aimed for our ongoing development of the Hope Empowerment Center that will provide
 
sustainable programming for generations to come in the areas of technology, sports, youth development and education.  Funds will
 
also be distributed for school fees, hygiene kits, soccer training, and leadership development activities.  Collectively over $35,000 
 
was through this event in 2023.
