at Swift Sports Organisation
🏢 About Swift Sports Organisation
Swift Sports Organisation is a community-based organization in Wakiso district, Uganda, uniquely blending sports development with sustainable livelihood projects. Their innovative approach uses a piggery project to fund both administrative operations and sports activities, creating a self-sustaining model that directly empowers local communities. Working here offers the opportunity to contribute to a grassroots initiative with tangible social impact in East Africa.
About This Role
As Project Partner, you'll lead the implementation of a piggery project designed to generate sustainable funding for sports and administrative activities. This involves comprehensive project planning, identifying and securing funding sources, and marketing the project internationally through social media to build support. Your work will directly create financial independence for community sports programs in Uganda.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves developing project timelines and budgets for the piggery implementation, researching and contacting potential international funders via email and calls, creating social media content to showcase the project's progress and impact, and participating in scheduled virtual check-ins with the executive team in Uganda. You'll balance strategic planning with hands-on marketing and relationship building across time zones.
