A sport for community action is a project established by UVIKIUTA with the aim of providing the opportunity for children and young Women and men in the surrounding communities to gain various skills and to become aware of development issues affecting them. The project sees sport as an ideal mechanism to engage children and youth. In this project, sport is defined as traditional games, soccer, basket ball, volleyball, dance, etc. Sport is an enabler and time occupier for otherwise idle young people, and it also provides extra activities for children after school hours to develop physically. The project uses the value of sports as a vehicle for leadership, development, empowerment, equalizing gender inequalities, improving educational success, enhancing economic opportunities, and social inclusion of marginalized groups such as girls, disabled persons and youth. These values include team work, respect, decision making, volunteerism, integrity, self esteem, conflict management, and communication skills as vital life skills.

The project is located within UVIKIUTA compound. Inhabitants of the local community are mostly petty traders, farmers, and a large portion of the population is unemployed. The community is one of the suburbs of Temeke Municipality, and is located about 24km from the center of Dar es Salaam. It is a very diverse community with mixed culture and attractions, offered by the UVIKIUTA Eco Village.
