Ray of hope for disadvantaged female boxersWritten by Frank Kisakye - observer.ug Morine Nakilyowa (23), Lydia Nantale (17), Hellen Baleke (24) and Diana Tulyanabo (20) have represented Uganda at several boxing engagements but the much-needed financial and logistical support had hampered their careers until an unlikely source provided a new lifeline, writes Frank Kisakye. L-R: Morine Nakilyowa, Hellen Baleke, Diana Tulyanabo and Lydia Nantale in their new gear The four budding female boxers are no strangers to hardships having grown up and taken up boxing in the Kampala slum of Katanga a few years ago. ![]() One step: Nakilyowa, Baleke, Tulyanabo and Nantale checking out their new gear. Photos: Gosia Lukomska Gutierrez, herself a former boxer, got to know about their plight. “I constantly think how unfair this world is to the female fighter and me and my friends all strive to make a difference in this world,” she says. “This donation is part of the need to open up communications between boxers in different places so the young ones too can see that there are other girls in other countries who love boxing.” Source: www.observer.ug/index.php |
