A youth football pitch for Freedom Primary School: help our neighbors in Entebbe
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $300 for materials.
🇺🇬 Entebbe, Central Region, Uganda1,010 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $165, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 254 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $300 goes:
• Materials: $200
• Permits and inspections: $15
• Safety equipment and signage: $35
• Tools hire and delivery: $50
Glad we found this place.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Entebbe!
Thank you. If you're in Entebbe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hang in there, Daniel. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Entebbe
praying for you. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Manchester
Best of luck, Daniel. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Fort Worth.
stay strong, Daniel. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Pittsburgh!
sending strength, Daniel. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer!
Thinking of you and your family, Daniel. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Sending love, Daniel. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in East London this morning. Take care.
