Aliguma in USA for mentorship camp 

Former Uspa vice president, Ritah Aliguma, the CEO of the sports-driven Aliguma Foundation, is currently in the United States for a one-month camp as part of the Global Sports Mentoring Program (GSMP) in Washington DC.

She is part of 16 international women on the programme recognized for their efforts to break barriers as entrepreneurs and sports journalist worldwide.

Apart from her role as the head of the Aliguma Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering women, girls, and children through sports and education, Aliguma’s achievements include organizing the visit of Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin to Uganda.

This program, a public-private partnership between the US department of State and espnW, leverages the power of sport and mentorship to engage women from around the world with American sports industry executives.

Aliguma is currently under the mentorship of Taryn Hutt, vice president of Club Marketing at the National Football League (NFL), and Megan Bell, vice president of Business Intelligence and Ticketing at the Los Angeles Chargers.

Speaking to The Observer, Aliguma noted that she has already learnt a lot in the areas of making proper preparations and creation of organizational structures.

“The team-building exercises are both exciting and challenging. What we do back home is far from sufficient. When I return, we will organize proper team-building and bonding exercises. It’s time to do things the right way.”
