How to Apply for Swift single mothers'Ambassador
at Swift Sports Organisation
🏢 About Swift Sports Organisation
Swift Sports Organisation uniquely combines sports development with poverty alleviation, specifically targeting single mothers and disadvantaged girls in Uganda. Unlike traditional sports organizations, they focus on holistic empowerment through netball, football, and rugby programs that address health, education, and skills development. Working here means contributing to a community-based mission that transforms lives through both athletic and personal development.
About This Role
As the Swift Single Mothers' Ambassador, you'll serve as both a mother figure providing emotional support and a strategic advocate raising awareness about single mothers' challenges in Uganda. This role involves connecting mothers to empowerment resources while helping implement programs focused on health, education, and skills development. Your impact extends beyond individual support to systemic change through advocacy and program implementation.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might begin with virtual check-ins with single mothers in Swift's sports programs, providing emotional support and guidance. You'd then research and connect mothers to specific resources (educational opportunities, legal aid, health services) while planning advocacy content about their challenges. The day would likely end with program coordination meetings to integrate health, education, and skills components into Swift's netball, football, and rugby activities.
