We are a youth and children’s charity organization which supports vulnerable and orphaned youth and children through a number of Programs. Jodana Sports Ministries is a registered Non-Governmental Organization in Uganda mandated to offer Spiritual healing, education support, Shelter, medication and psycho-social care to vulnerable and orphaned children through sports . The ministry has also grown to include support for young women challenged by social problems..
JSM started as a soccer club for street children in the Western suburbs of Kampala, the Ugandan Capital with intentions of winning souls back to God through soccer. It was founded by Daniel Ntale, then a professional soccer player who met Salvation through Soccer. He dedicated his life to help develop sporting talents. Daniel is a national soccer hero in Uganda having played for the Uganda National soccer team for a good period of time before concentrating on his professional career.
During holidays in his professional stint Daniel organized destitute youths and children into a soccer club to pass on football skills to them starting in 2000 and share his love with them. Most of the children came from the Rubaga suburb where he grew up and had his early soccer life.
The love and care shared with them soon attracted other children who were interested in other things but found comfort in being with Daniel and his group of children. From a soccer club, a transformation into a youth sports and recreation club became paramount and as such in 2006, Daniel established a children’s center providing meals and accommodation for a limited number of Children from the streets.
The same year Daniel quit a promising football career to serve the children and youths under the Jodana Sports Ministries, a ministry he founded to effectively reach out to more children and youths through sports evangelism. Within less than a year JSM rented a house as its first children’s center and orphanage Home and reached to more children and youths through outreaches.
Today the dream has turned into reality using Sports(Soccer) Kabadi dance and Drama in different parts of the country to spread the word of God , helping the young to discover their calling and those who excel in co-curricular activities breaking the poverty cycle ,many have been able to go to school .
JSM through Daniel mobilization has managed to secure 3 acres of land with the hope to build a school ,sports facilities and dormitories which will solve many financial challenges.
