- W2184676867 abstract "Mbale Tigers Table Tennis Club (MTTTC) was founded in 1992 but formerly established in 2003 as a social club aimed at building a generation of young, disciplined and competitive Table Tennis Players who would become all round personalities in the Table Tennis industry. The ultimate goal is to build a Table Tennis Academy that will support the building of a Table Tennis Industry in Uganda. The club then started working with Twiga and formed a Project code named Laupa Luning Table Tennis Project.The project was a result of a research carried out in Mbale Tigers Table Tennis club and its community on the impact of sports on the leadership qualities of children. However many social benefits have accrued to the functioning of the club The social benefits realized include; social services like education, health, housing and positive social values and attitudes and relationships at local, national and international levels with good cooperation and friendship as defined in a Memorandum of understanding and cooperation signed between Laupa Lunning Table Tennis Project Promoters (Stefan Laupa and Joel Lunning), the founder and promoter of Mbale Tigers Table Tennis Club and the local government of Mbale District in Uganda in East Africa.Mbale Tigers Table Tennis Club method combines professional training, practice and competition with good results and contribute efforts towards achieving the millennium development goals among others; groom young sportsmen and ladies in leadership skills, fight poverty and extreme hunger, promote Universal Primary Education, protect the environment, promote Human Rights and Fight against HIV/AIDSThe Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) through TWIGA a Swedish NGO has made significant financial contribution to Mbale Tigers since 2005 to facilitate the strategy to identify, train and expose players to local, National, Regional and International Table Tennis competitions and also pursue the millennium development goals. (ref:www.mbaletigers.com/www.twiga.se/www.ittf.com)Children 6-18 years now dominate the national team of Cadet Boys and Girls, Girls and Boys under 17 years and also feature dominantly in the Women’s Team. They have started getting to the Men’s team category with ease. Kids have benefited from Education seminars and have greatly changed their social behavior, values and attitudes. Reports from schools, families and community members indicate a significant change in the life styles of most of them who happen to be residing in a slum area near the location of the project office-Maluku.Other income generating activities like Bicycle taxi, internet cafe and workshop for locally making table tennis tables aimed at making Mbale Tigers a self-reliant club in a near future have been implemented and have impacted positively on the outlook of the kids, workers of the club and community. SIDA and TWIGA have twice supported cultural exchange programs in which Mbale Tigers Kids and one leader have traveled to Sweden for at least three weeks to share experiences through tour and travel, competition, Conferences and training in elite Clubs like Angby and Mariedal Sports Clubs.UN Habitat which awarded a certificate of merit to Mbale Tigers in recognition of its involvement of Youth in the Project, recommended that Mbale Tigers replicate this project in the East African countries.The leadership of the Government of Uganda, ATTF, ITTF through its Goodwill Fund, Computer Aid and the population of Ugandan Table Tennis administrators, players and sponsors recognize Mbale Tigers Table Tennis Club Model as the most successful sports organization worth supporting and encouraging if sports in general and Table Tennis in particular has to grow into an Industry for career development, job creation, income generation and proactive innovations to bridge gaps in the social development process in Africa south of the Sahara in general and Uganda in particular." @default.
