Always present. One post after another on Instagram, on LinkedIn. The man has been making <strong>Uganda&#8217;s Gulf<\/strong> more visible to Europe for some time now. Strictly speaking, it is not Uganda&#8217;s golf scene as a whole, which consists of around 10,000 active players and around 20 golf courses, that he focuses on, but the <strong>Afriyea Golf Academy<\/strong>. &#8220;It is the largest golf academy in the country,&#8221; explains its founder. It continuously reaches more than 1000 children. Directly at the academy, which is connected to the <strong>Toro Golf Club in Port Royal<\/strong> about 250 kilometers from the capital Kambala, but also in remote communities through community programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More than just a golf program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The children and young people make their way to the academy in Port Royal early in the morning: &#8220;No, a bicycle is not common,&#8221; explains Isaiah Mwesige, who founded the academy in 2020. &#8220;Most of them come on foot.&#8221; He also walked 14 kilometers to and from the golf club every day to earn money for food and school by collecting and selling golf balls. Mwesige was orphaned at the age of 12 and was raised by his brother.<\/p>\n<p>The situation of the children who come to the academy every day is similar to his own. &#8220;Most of them come from underprivileged families,&#8221; he continues. At the Afriyea Golf Academy you will receive golf lessons, school lessons, meals &#8211; but also lessons in environmental protection. &#8220;We take a holistic approach and want to open up a path to the future for the children.&#8221; At this point, golf is just a vehicle to a better future, which consists of knowledge and education.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m0aps832-32d7273da34d211693a8b22ceb71910d\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m0aps832-32d7273da34d211693a8b22ceb71910d img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m0aps832-32d7273da34d211693a8b22ceb71910d .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m0aps832-32d7273da34d211693a8b22ceb71910d av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-27486 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-27486 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3881-300x200.jpg\" alt='' title='Afriyea Golf Academy'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3881-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3881-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3881-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3881-scaled.jpg 1386w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3881-705x470.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m0apousd-774b5902ec5b0d0c8d1f8bef1233bf6d '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>If you watch the videos of the golf days in rural communities beyond the academy that the Afriyea Academy team visits, you get an idea of how little the European view of golf has in common with that of Uganda, because the basic financial resources of the golf courses are completely different, as are the living conditions of the children. The issue of climate change is much more present in everyday life because agriculture is the backbone of the economy in Uganda and families get through the months with small yields.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lessons on climate change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Uganda&#8217;s important crops such as coffee, bananas and maize are threatened by irregular rainfall, rising temperatures and the spread of pests. Soil erosion caused by heavy rainfall is increasing and at the same time water is becoming scarcer in many regions. &#8220;If I could plan for the future, I would plant many, many more trees,&#8221; Isaiah Mwesige dreams to himself. &#8220;The right trees with the right roots that fit into our landscape and can survive here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A deep understanding of the processes of climate change is important to us,&#8221; he adds. &#8220;We want to teach young people about environmental protection.&#8221; Well aware that only an intact environment can ultimately preserve the prosperity we have achieved to date, Mwesige tackles two major topics with his students at the Academy: plastic pollution and trees. Plastic waste is a major problem in Africa, with extremely thin plastic bags and plastic bottles being particularly ubiquitous. Plastic clean-ups are therefore almost standard for the children at the golf academy. They take place regularly and awareness of the problem has long been firmly established here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m0aq12p3-ef9d44c4cba136f3ca3b5d3b7928ed35\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m0aq12p3-ef9d44c4cba136f3ca3b5d3b7928ed35 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m0aq12p3-ef9d44c4cba136f3ca3b5d3b7928ed35 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m0aq12p3-ef9d44c4cba136f3ca3b5d3b7928ed35 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-27489 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-27489 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2Z4A9816-300x200.jpg\" alt='Picture of a plastic collection campaign' title='Afriyea Golf Academy- Plastic pollution'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2Z4A9816-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2Z4A9816-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2Z4A9816-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2Z4A9816-scaled.jpg 1386w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2Z4A9816-705x470.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m0apvzyr-d0988d52ad61073b742730f149b1e7e4 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>The financing of all these measures, the anchoring of golf as a tool for the personal development of children, is possible because sponsors have now been found for the academy, including the <strong>R&amp;A in St. Andrews<\/strong>. However, sponsorships for individual children are also possible.<\/p>\n<p>It is his personal story that drives Isaiah Mwesige to push the Academy&#8217;s program. At some point, he moved up from ball salesman to caddy, then he started to take care of janitorial duties or organizing the children&#8217;s training sessions. With the support of the members, he obtained a bachelor&#8217;s degree in agricultural sciences.<\/p>\n<p>20 years after his first foray onto the golf course, he founded the academy to give other children and young people the opportunities that he himself had gained through golf. In July, he reported on his program during his first visit to the Open Championship. It was his first contact with this international golfing world, in which millions are paid out in prizes and the price of a logo shirt is roughly equivalent to the monthly income of a worker in one of Uganda&#8217;s rural areas. Anyone who talks to Mwesige about such differences does not feel anger, but simply enthusiasm. The Afriyea Academy in Uganda has already made the lives of many children better with the help of golf.<\/p>\n<div
