4. Donate $2 or more, directly to our soccer-based peacebuilding framework in northern Uganda.                            *$2 plants a tree at rehabilitated soccer field, $20 buys a local soccer ball, $200 buys a basic equipment package for team in a Soccer League for Peace, $1000 installs locally made goal posts, etc. (email us for other tangible amounts)*

5. Host a soccer game or tournament in your community as part of our Play Soccer So They Can community, bringing people together to play soccer so that war affected youth can as well.

6. Buy a 1 for 1 t-shirt. For each shirt sold, a ball is purchased from a local retailer and provided to a soccer-based peacebuilding program in Gulu (and soon, Amuru) District, Uganda.*

7. Think of something much bigger and send us the details about it in an email (oa@oaprojects.org)
