| Volunteer With OSOF Uganda | |
 One Sport One Family (OSOF) is a rural Ugandan based community charity founded by Ben Nteza, a youth leader, tennis player, and community advocate at 14 years old passionate about using sport and education as tools for social change. Growing up in rural Uganda, Ben witnessed firsthand how poverty, limited access to education, and lack of safe spaces affect children’s futures. In response, he founded OSOF to create opportunities for at-risk youth through sports especially tennis education, and life skills mentorship.Through structured sports programs, a community study room, and character development activities, OSOF provides safe, supportive environments where children learn respect, teamwork, leadership, confidence, and discipline while strengthening their academic growth.
