The life of Mubiru Rigan depends on one of these sport grants. Rigan dreams of being the next Fernando Torres and scoring the goal that brings Uganda their first African Cup. But he never had an easy life. When he was 3 years old, his mother abandoned him in the toxic waste dump that surrounds Nelson Mandela’s National Football Stadium in Uganda. For a while, Rigan survived by selling scrap metal and stealing, always on the run from local mafias. There, he was discovered by a trainer, who got him a sports grant that allowed him to go back to school, eat every day and play football..
