Overview
About Ascent Soccer
OUR ‘WHY’ IN EAST AFRICA
Talent and desire are equally distributed across the globe.
Opportunity is not.
Ascent Soccer starts at the grassroots, inspiring and nurturing
talented girls and boys in East Africa to be brave, to lead by example
and to believe in their ability to transform themselves, their
communities and the world.
Ascent Soccer is ‘exceptional talent empowered’.
OUR MISSION & VISION
Ascent Soccer, a social impact organization, transforms the lives of
young men and women in some of East Africa’s poorest countries by
providing opportunities for comprehensive education, critical life
skills and character development -- combined with world-class soccer
skill development.
Based in Malawi & Uganda, with registered charity operations in the
USA and Canada, Ascent was founded in 2014 and works with over 85 boys
and girls carefully selected from across East Africa. Ascent graduates
have gone on to win life-changing scholarships at elite global
boarding schools, with other Ascent scholars representing the academy
in youth national teams and at major European club tournaments.
Ascent’s vision is to guide youth to realize and reach their
potential, growing into exceptional young men and women who not only
re-invest in their own communities, but provide opportunities for the
success of future graduates.
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.”
Robert Louis Stevenson
