The Gulu Project

Our Story

The Gulu Project began in January 2012 when Fr. James Okello from the Archdiocese of Gulu, Uganda, visited St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Wilmington, Delaware. His visit shed light on the hardships faced by families in Northern Uganda due to the civil war with Joseph Kony and the LRA, which left many living in government-run camps. Inspired by Fr. James' experiences, the community in Delaware rallied to support educational initiatives, leading to the establishment of a nursery school in Olwiyo.

Impact

Over the past nine years, The Gulu Project has successfully established the St. Catherine of Siena School, currently supporting 79 children through its Child Sponsorship program. The organization has also facilitated the construction of classrooms and a kitchen, enhancing educational opportunities for children in the region.
