Our Approach: Ubabalo
Our strength lies in the Ubabalo Whole-Life Coaching Model—a psychosocial development approach embedded across everything we do. Whether through inclusive sports, STEAM education, or agricultural training, every young person receives mentorship, emotional support, character development, and life skills.
Ubabalo means "Grace." It's our commitment to coaching the whole person, not just the activity they participate in.
"Put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience... Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity." — Colossians 3:12b, 14
