On 26 February 2026, Play of Hope held a strategic meeting with the leadership of the Chieftaincy of Mubende Rehabilitation Center to explore a meaningful sports development partnership focused on supporting wounded soldiers through rehabilitation.
The proposed partnership centers on the use of sport as a structured tool in the recovery process. Beyond physical exercise, sport offers discipline, routine, teamwork, and mental resilience, all essential elements in rebuilding strength, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. For wounded soldiers navigating recovery, these components can play a vital role in holistic healing.
Director Annet Nakamya emphasized how sport creates an environment of encouragement, achievement, and renewed confidence. Through guided training programs, adapted activities, and mentorship, Play of Hope aims to contribute positively to rehabilitation efforts helping participants regain physical capability while also restoring morale and self-belief.
This collaboration reflects Play of Hope’s broader mission: using sport not only to develop athletes, but to transform lives. By extending its programs into rehabilitation spaces, the organization continues to demonstrate that sport can be a bridge from injury to strength, from challenge to resilience, and from recovery to renewed hope.
