๐ข About Swift Sports Organisation
Swift Sports Organisation uniquely combines sports development with poverty alleviation, specifically targeting single mothers, disadvantaged girls, and children in Uganda. Unlike traditional sports organizations, it focuses on holistic empowerment through talent discovery and community support, making it ideal for those passionate about grassroots social change through sports.
About This Role
As the Swift Single Mothers' Ambassador, you'll serve as both a maternal leader and advocate, directly supporting single mothers by providing emotional guidance, connecting them to resources, and representing their needs within the organization. This role is impactful because it bridges individual support with systemic advocacy, transforming lives through personalized mentorship and resource mobilization.
๐ก A Day in the Life
A typical day involves virtual check-ins with single mothers via calls or messaging to offer emotional support, researching and sharing local resources (e.g., educational grants, healthcare access), and collaborating with Swift Sports teams to integrate mothers into sports programs. You might also draft advocacy materials or represent the department in meetings to highlight single mothers' needs.
