About Secoto
Secoto Background
Eco Sports Club
Sustainable Environmental Conservation Tournament- SECOTO is a new Global project established by SHUMBUSHO Patience through the Eco Arts Initiative and powered by Eco Arts Ltd, and launched first time in Rwanda in May 2023 to empower young people to advocate for environmental protection and assist a new, talented generation in Sports, arts, and Culture Exchange, by promoting a sense of earth stewardship via UN Sports for Climate and stabling environmental Clubs into Eco Sports Clubs to act on Climate agenda in their local community.
SECOTO is centered around four key sectors: Football, Basketball, Volleyball, and Entertainment ( Arts performances) all working towards the theme of “Engaging Young People in Conservation for Sustainable Development through Sports and Arts.” We believe in the power of sports and arts to contribute to conservation awareness.
With the catchphrase “We Play, We Connect, We Protect,” SECOTO initially started with Eco Sports Club in 169 countries, with aspirations for further expansion… Through SECOTO there will be an annual event of the African Green Cup, Asia Green Cup, European Green Cup Oceanie Green Cup, American Green Cup, South America Green Cup, Eco Spartcup-UAE, and World Green Cup
