Transforming lives through golf. Building character, creating opportunities, and empowering youth across Uganda.
Transforming Lives
Through Golf
AFRIYEA Golf Academy is a Ugandan golf academy that uses golf as a tool for social change. Founded by Isaiah Mwesige, we provide opportunities for young people from all backgrounds to learn discipline, build character, and develop skills through the game of golf.
From Lost Balls to
Life-Changing Academy
Isaiah Mwesige struggled to complete his basic education, having been orphaned aged only twelve and brought up by his brother Eugene. With very little money available to support the most basic of needs, a close friend convinced him he could earn money finding lost balls at the Toro Golf Club in Fort Portal, Western Uganda, and selling them back to the members. This was his first introduction to the great game of golf.
Even this enterprise entailed a fourteen-kilometre round trip on foot, but it meant there was now some money available for food and school fees. Isaiah then progressed to caddying for members and, as he began to show an aptitude for playing golf, he was moved into the Artisan ranks at the club.
Twenty years after Isaiah had started collecting lost balls on the course, he founded the AFRIYEA Golf Academy, set up with the specific intention of assisting other underprivileged youths and children in his home city of Fort Portal.
