More about Peace Building Through Sport in Northern Uganda
GRFU’s innovative methodology is founded on a unique understanding of social learning theory and child development needs. Our sport and play programs are designed to foster positive behavior change in children and youth by enhancing their ability to prevent and resolve conflict in their lives. Not only do we intervene in conflict and post-conflict settings, but we also address the causes of structural violence by working with at-risk communities. By involving vulnerable children and youth in constructive sport and play programs at a critical stage, our work helps to fill a void in their lives, thus reducing the likelihood that they will engage in delinquent behavior and violence.
