Fort Portal: The Global Golf Box Initiative is a transformative program uniting the Earl Grey Golf Club Members in Canada, TaylorMade Golf Company, and the AFRIYEA Golf Academy in Uganda to empower underprivileged youth golfers.
Focused on fostering talent, leveling the playing field, and creating opportunities, this partnership is making a profound impact on the lives of young athletes from underserved communities.
The initiative’s first phase targets 29 top-tier junior golfers from disadvantaged backgrounds at AFRIYEA Golf Academy. Each Global Golf Box costing $175, including shipping contains world-class apparel and equipment, providing the tools these talented young golfers need to excel.
Jennifer MacKinnon, the driving force behind this initiative, brings her passion for golf and years of advocacy for inclusivity to this project. Speaking on its impact, she shared: “Golf has the power to unite people and create opportunities where there were none before. The Global Golf Box Initiative is about giving these talented young players the tools they need to succeed and showing them that the world believes in their potential.”
Isaiah Mwesige, Founder of AFRIYEA Golf Academy, highlighted the initiative’s transformative influence: “This collaboration is truly transformative. It not only provides equipment but also builds bridges between communities, empowering our youth on and off the course.”
The program is more than just providing equipment it’s about giving hope, inspiring excellence, and fostering networks between Canadian and Ugandan communities. For young players like Leticia Marunga, Junior Golf Leader at AFRIYEA, the initiative means endless possibilities:
“This collaboration inspires us to dream big and aim for excellence. It’s about building strong networks and friendships while developing as golfers and individuals.”
By purchasing a Global Golf Box, you’re investing in the future of these young golfers, sending more than just equipment you’re sending hope and opportunity.
