Our Founder's Story
Daniel Ntale, a former youth pastor in Kampala, founded Jodana Sports Ministries in 2018 to help vulnerable children in Uganda. He believed that sports, music, and dance could be powerful tools for transformation, going beyond physical development to build character, confidence, and community connections. Starting with just 12 children and a single football, Ntale organized weekend sports activities. The initiative quickly grew as parents noticed positive changes in their children, including improved behavior and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, Jodana Sports Ministries serves over 10,000 children across Uganda, providing support that includes education, shelter, healthcare, and spiritual guidance. Ntale's vision is to help children not just survive but thrive, with the goal of building a better future for them and for Uganda.
