The Vice Chairperson of Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU), Sarah Kagingo, has called on women in the corporate sector to embrace resilience and discipline as essential traits for breaking barriers in leadership spaces.
Kagingo made the remarks while officiating as Chief Guest at the Corporate Games Uganda season opener held at Jeph International University in Kampala. The first outing of the 2026 season was themed the “Women’s Edition,” bringing together more than fifty corporate organizations for a day of sports, networking, and community engagement.
The event featured a diverse lineup of activities including football, netball, boxing, kwepena, woodball, karate, and golf simulation, reflecting the growing diversity of corporate wellness initiatives in Uganda. Participants used the platform not only to compete but also to strengthen professional networks and promote team cohesion.
Corporate Games Uganda continues to position itself as a unifying platform for the private sector, promoting teamwork, wellness, and collaboration through sport. Its steady growth has been driven by consistent leadership and a commitment to creating meaningful engagement among corporate institutions.

In her address, Kagingo commended the league for integrating corporate social responsibility into its activities, particularly its outreach to expectant mothers through the provision of mama kits to health facilities such as Health Centre II in Gulu and Health Centre III in Nawandala, Iganga District.
“What truly sets this league apart is its heart. It is not merely a collection of trophies but a center of tangible impact. The proceeds from the annual corporate run directly support expectant mothers,” she noted.
Kagingo emphasized that while conversations around breaking the glass ceiling often dominate boardroom discussions, platforms like Corporate Games provide an opportunity for women to demonstrate leadership beyond formal spaces.

“Today is a special occasion as we dedicate this kickoff to Women’s Month. In the boardroom, we often speak of breaking the glass ceiling, but on this pitch, we are demonstrating that a corporate woman is a leader in resilience, physical discipline, and team spirit,” she added.
Her remarks reinforced the importance of holistic empowerment, where professional success is complemented by physical wellbeing, teamwork, and social impact.
As Corporate Games Uganda continues its 2026 calendar, the Women’s Edition has set a strong precedent for inclusive participation and leadership development. The initiative remains a key driver in fostering a culture where corporate professionals, especially women, can thrive both within and beyond the workplace.
