WHY DONATE?
Your donation to help build Gulu Community Park will help shape the future of an entire generation.
The park will provide vulnerable youth, who could otherwise fall through the cracks, a safe place to play, socialize and build community.
​
We work directly with the Gulu community to ensure that each program is locally driven
and able to meet their needs. We’re here to listen and to help them become a community that is united, first in spirit, then through tangible projects.
Giving youth a place to PLAY, LEARN AND GROW
In 2020, World Embrace purchased 22 acres and broke ground on the Gulu Community Park. It will be the first large scale community project of its kind in Northern Uganda and one of the biggest community hubs
in East Africa.
​
This youth park will be a catalyst for change in Gulu. It will be a neutral destination for organizations and churches to come together and positively impact the youth of Gulu.
