Florence Akello

- Vice President

Born and raised in Northern Uganda, she has an incredible life story and passion for sports. She rose from the bottom to the top to become the most valuable basketball player in Uganda. She worked for GUSCO (Gulu Support the Children Organisation). An organisation that helps to rehabilitate the children who were abducted during the war period in Northern Uganda. Therefore, she is well versed with the situation there and this plays a big role in the running of this foundation.
Being a sport’s mother with a loving heart of giving back to the community, she sponsors Gulu Hawks Basketball Club, a team she used to play for among me and this bridged the inequality Gap and encouraged many girls to join the team and train together with men up to date. Furthermore, she engages in so many Sports charitable initiatives in Northern Uganda. She stands as an Icon in the eyes of many sports personalities as an inspiration of how one can balance both Education and Sports.
