Uganda (Photographers Without Borders)

Netball is a very popular sport in Uganda and is usually one of the sports played during X-SUBA's Connection Day. Each Saturday, youth in the community meet at a local church to play sports and talk about life skills with X-SUBA coaches.

Coach Kenneth, co-founder of X-SUBA, leads a discussion after a netball game with girls who participate in the Saturday Connection Days. In Ugandan culture, many of the important conversations about sexuality and entering adulthood aren't brought up by parents. They're left to aunts and uncles who provide misguiding, if any, advice. These important discussions with Kenneth and his coaches are often the only times that these children will hear anything about sexual health and abstinence.
