When you support the Nkere Acro Community Organization, you aren’t just funding a sports club; you are making a tangible investment in community development. Our returns are not measured in profit, but in confident, disciplined, and responsible young individuals ready to take on the world. Our commitment is to transforming lives by making gymnastics accessible. Here are three powerful ways you can partner with us and ensure that our mission continues to uplift and empower the youth of Uganda: 1. Sponsor an Athlete: Fuel a Dream Direct sponsorship is the most immediate way to make an impact. Your contribution helps cover the costs of continuous training, nutritious meals, competition fees, and essential gear. This support relieves the financial burden on families and allows the athlete to focus entirely on their growth and discipline. You directly invest in their ability to compete and secure a brighter future. 2. Fund Our Resources: Ensure Safety and Quality Our commitment to Excellence requires a consistent supply of safe, quality equipment and a suitable training space. Help us maintain a structured environment that nurtures talent professionally. Funds go toward securing reliable mats, training aids, and facility maintenance, ensuring our athletes can train to the highest global standards without risk. 3. Share Your Expertise: Become a Mentor Our work is fundamentally about mentorship. We invite professionals and individuals who share our Passion and Integrity to partner with us. Whether you can offer workshops on business management, academic tutoring, or specialized coaching, sharing your skills strengthens our organizational capacity and provides our youth with diverse, invaluable role models. By choosing to partner with Nkere Acro, you join us in our vision to spread acrobatics throughout Uganda, reaching beyond our local community to inspire and empower youth nationwide.

In a community largely comprised of children raised by single parents, a group of young athletes is defying the odds. They face daily challenges, but they find their strength, confidence, and identity on the training mat. Their stories prove that with passion and the right support, potential is limitless. The Inclusivity principle at Nkere Acro means that every child deserves a chance to shine. We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where young athletes can build their skills and self-esteem through our programs, like our Youth Development Training and Community Mentorship Program.   From Local Ground to Global Glory   Our ultimate vision is ambitious: to prepare and inspire our athletes to represent Uganda on both local and international stages. Our Elite Competition Pathways provide the rigorous training necessary to achieve this dream. We see our gymnasts not just as competitors, but as ambassadors of hope and positive change. As we focus on Empowerment, we know our work extends far beyond the flips and tumbles. It is about providing continuous mentorship and life skills that promote resilience. Every athlete we train carries a story of perseverance, potential, and transformation. “Each child we train carries a story of perseverance, potential, and transformation—proof that talent, when nurtured with purpose, can change lives.” Their dedication is evident every single day. Our duty is to ensure they have the resources, training, and opportunity to reach their full potential.

A backflip is more than just a trick; it’s a metaphor for overcoming obstacles. At the Nkere Acro Community Organization, we see every jump, every lift, and every moment of balance as a step toward a better life for our athletes. We don’t just train gymnasts; we cultivate disciplined, resilient young individuals who are ready to lead. For too long, elite sports like gymnastics have been viewed as inaccessible or focused only on immediate income generation. Our founder, Massembe Hassan Rice, realized this limited vision was failing to develop long-term talent. Having experienced similar challenges in his own upbringing, he was inspired to create a safe and supportive space devoted to identifying, nurturing, and empowering passionate youth.   Discipline as the Ultimate Life Skill   Our core work is making acrobatics an empowerment tool. The structured training demands focus, consistency, and commitment. These aren’t just athletic skills; they are non-negotiable life skills that promote resilience and personal growth. When a child masters a complicated routine, they gain an unshakable confidence they carry into school, family life, and their future careers.   Operating at the Highest Standard   The Nkere Acro Community Organization is built on a foundation of Excellence and Integrity. This commitment is reflected in the leadership of our founder, who also serves as the President of Acrobatics at the Uganda Gymnastics Federation and a Technical Committee member at the African Union of Gymnastics. This connection ensures our training protocols meet national and international standards, truly preparing our young athletes to represent Uganda with pride.We believe that talent, when nurtured with purpose, can change lives. Our mission is to transform lives, build confidence, and break barriers by making this empowering sport accessible to every child, regardless of background or financial status.
