In previous articles on this blog it has been highlighted that building of sports infrastructure can be pivotal in aiding the whole round development of communities. Investment in sports infrastructure is an aspect that has all too often been left out or deemphasized by countries aiming to climb out of a state of underdevelopment and poverty but as the previous articles pointed out, sports can do much for just such countries, and it should be a key aspect of their development plans. Local and international investment in this sector should be encouraged. This thinking seems to have caught on in Uganda; the World Sports Alliance (WSAU) and the NGO New Hope for Africa are to construct a modern sports complex in Entebbe, Uganda, to help groom future stars. This is only Uganda’s third Modern Sports facility and is envisioned to be a centre for youth development and community transformation. It will provide avenues to keep children off the streets and groom them into great leaders for tomorrow, on top of providing accommodation for over 250 orphans, from a New Hope for Africa orphanage.
