Our Programs

Since 2012, near the inception of Empower Youth Corp, the senior team has has 25 dedicated male players aged 17 and up. Over the years, they have grown together, both on and off the field, advancing through the soccer ranks with determination and teamwork. By 2018, their hard work paid off as they reached the regional league, the third highest tier in the Ugandan national soccer system. Fueled by dreams and a strong sense of community, the team aims to climb to these top tiers within the next 4 to 8 years.  Each player is a valued member of the community, enthusiastically engaging in organizational activities and mentoring the younger teams, passing on their passion and skills. Whether traveling up to 100 miles (160 km) for away games or practicing on their home turf, they embody teamwork and camaraderie. The team benefits from the experienced leadership of Manager Friday Syfa, a qualified national referee, with the supportive assistance of Coach Murungi Gilbert. Together, they not only strive for excellence in competition but also foster a supportive and nurturing environment for all involved.

This vibrant group of 22 is the youngest team within the organization, brimming with energy, enthusiasm, and a keen eagerness to engage. Despite their youth occasionally limiting their participation, they remain deeply involved in nearly all activities of the organization. They dedicate their weekends and holidays to practice, while weekdays are reserved for their studies, as the field is primarily used by the senior team for their game preparations.  Operating in the organization's lowest tier, these spirited young players work tirelessly to ascend to the next level. Their competition opportunities are currently limited to friendly matches and small tournaments, and though they have the fewest matches, their desire to play more is immense. Resources are scarce, and much of what is available is allocated to support the senior team, which competes in league play.  Guiding these enthusiastic youngsters is Coach Murungi Gilbert, with assistance from Mujib Malik, a player from the senior team who brings his experience and a nurturing spirit, helping to foster both skill and joy in the game among the team members.

This team proudly holds the distinction of being the first women's team to represent the organization. Although the region has only a few female squads, resulting in the absence of a formal league for them to compete in, the team thrives on the opportunities presented by friendly matches and tournaments organized around special occasions and events. Comprising 15 dedicated members, the team embraces an open age policy, welcoming players from various walks of life and experience levels.

The inclusive nature of the team allows for a rich diversity of skills and perspectives, contributing to a dynamic and supportive environment. 

The above team is headed by the manager, coaches and other organisational volunteers who work with members of the entire teams.  This program started in 2018 as a way of giving back to the community through services mainly cleaning streets, markets, rivers, trenches and trading centers. The community members provide amazing support the teams during their home and away games. Trough community service, it is a gesture of thank from the organisation members to the community.
