Unity Academy is a Centre of Sporting Excellence run by Unity Sporting Club in association with UCSEF. The academy has a computer centre powered by Enterprise FI Solution. Aimed at disadvantaged children and young people, particularly orphans and victims of HIV/AIDS. The centre is based in Wenchi in the Brong Ahafo, a deprived area of Brong Ahafo region, Ghana. 100 boys aged 3-21 years, are currently enrolled. The academy coaches provide free training session at a local girls school, this is the only way we can currently include girls in the project as very few girls have shown interest.
The Academy offers full scholarships to those at risk of poverty and hardship. Through holistic sports and education programmes, the School is creating sustainable opportunities for students, investing in their future success as independent individuals and building inspiring stories to lift their peers out of poverty.
Many Unity Academy students have excellent sporting potential and share a belief in the power of sport to effect change. However, entry to the School is not exclusive to those with exceptional sporting talent - the primary criterion for entry is social need.
