WHY GAME CONNECT AFRICA
We believe through play; children build five flexible skills that help them take on the future with confidence I.e. 1. Physical skills 2. Social skills 3. Emotional skills 4. Cognitive skills 5. Creative skills
Sports brings people together, regardless of their age group, tribal or religious background. Football brings together even hostile groups. People play, laugh and celebrate together. We combine the two most beautiful things in life.
Through play, children flex and find their way. Instead of noting down rigid facts and figures, they hone ways of thinking, creating, working together and testing ideas. All skills they'll need to thrive throughout their lives.
So, the sooner we bring learning through play into every home and classroom, the sooner we help our children get set for tomorrow. Whatever tomorrow looks like.
Game Connect Africa Uganda believe Children learn best through play. It's an essential part of their development. But not every child gets the time and chance to play in the rural areas of Uganda as he or she may deserve.
