BACOP Vision: Empowered communities for self-reliance through sport.
BACOP Mission: Enrich community livelihoods through knowledge and skills empowerment.
Balamu Community Outreach Program (BACOP) is a non-profit organization that uses sport as a development tool to address social, economic, health, and environmental community challenges in Uganda.
BACOP was founded in 2012 by a group of youth who were actively involved in playing football and other sporting activities. They found it necessary to form and register a community-led membership organization that would unite refugees and their host communities to promote the exchange of cultural beliefs and address social, economic, development, health, and environmental challenges.
Since its inception, BACOP has been actively involved in implementing activities aimed at promoting entrepreneurial capacity development, Human rights protection, environment conservation, climate change mitigation, education support and sports, health, water sanitation and hygiene, lobbying, and advocacy of stakeholders for policy redress in Uganda.
BACOP’s interventions are non-discriminatory of religion, gender, race or disability, and economic background.
