UPDATE - JUNE 16, 2018

Tournament Approaches.
Goal Construction begins today!

Palabek Refugee Camp - Zone 1 Soccer Field Progress

Thank you for your support! We are now $6,200 away from our goal. So close!


Construction on the soccer goals begins today. Metal poles have been purchased in Kampala and are making the 8+ hour drive to camp. Our welder and his equipment will join the truck in Gulu. Goal construction will take 2 days.


Palabek World Cup Tournament is scheduled for next weekend! 

Posters are being hung in camp. The glue is made by cooking porridge a special way, Glue is applied to posters with hands. Easy clean up!

GOAL

Since starting FUNDaFIELD, our goal has been to give the most deserving kids in the world the chance to play. To achieve this goal, the team has been working to complete construction of two soccer fields in the UN Palabek Refugee Camp in Northern Uganda. The camp opened in April, 2017 with funding focused on the survival of 34,000 refugees from Southern Sudan. In addition to the issues the refugees overcome each day, the youth deal daily with tribal barriers, idleness and hopelessness. The children in these camps have been through unspeakable horrors, and we believe that bringing some semblance of games and joy to their lives will be our most impactful work to date.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We are $17,000 away from finishing the fields in zones 1 and 7 and holding a massive tournament celebration to open the sites. We need funding to complete field construction on both fields and to host the 2018 Palabek World Cup Tournament on June 22 & 23rd!
