Uncertain future for Kids First Uganda soccer

A soccer program in Uganda that Leland seventh graders kick-started in 2016 grew from 20 youths to 500 and has become a vital resource for children and their families in poor and disadvantaged communities in Uganda’s capital of Kampala.

Now, the practice field these Uganda kids depend on is for sale, kick starting another fundraising effort from Leland alumni to purchase the soccer fields to be used for generations to come.

Leland graduate Shelby Fritz was in that seventh grade class where it all started.
