We are so honored to be able to share Geoffrey's story with you. When you see it, you will understand why we want to do everything we can to support the work he is doing in his community! What he needs the most is a space to bring the community together to dance. We already have the perfect location at our community center, we just need help with the cost of construction. Help us build a dance studio for Geoffrey and his friends: https://donorsee.com/healingthroughdance Geoffrey won't be the only one to use this studio. We work with other community leaders who also need a space like this. With capacity to host classes of 40 people from 8am to 10pm daily, this space can be used to help so many people in Gulu in so many ways! Big thanks to Austin for making this video for us! http://www.austinshaw.website

Covid-19 has brought a lot of challenges upon Uganda as a country, and Elephante Commons. But that hasn't stopped our partners, in fact it has spurred on some of the most inspiring projects that we have seen in Gulu to date. Elephante Commons exists to support common heroes like the people featured in this video. We're so excited to introduce them to the world because you haven't seen the last of these inspiring leaders! Please consider supporting us through Covid-19 and beyond so that we can continue to be there for these leaders and for the Acholi people.

It was so much fun to share our story with more people across the states! Thanks for such a memorable time Portland!

We were absolutely blown away when a donor so generously offered to purchase 4 BRAND NEW computers for our management team! Best impromptu trip to Best Buy ever!

We love any excuse to celebrate the women of Elephante because they are extraordinary! Here's to all the strong women of Gulu! Women in order of appearance: Agnes, Doreen, Atim, Rose, Scovia, Kevin, Innocent, Betty, Susan, Agatha, Concy, Gladies, Monica, Fiona, Irene, Jennifer, Evelyn, Rebecca. Not pictured - so many amazing women who were too busy doing incredible things while we filmed this.

We exist to bring more opportunity, resources, and development to the community of Gulu. We believe this is best accomplished by coming alongside local leaders and grassroots organizations who are already working towards solving complex issues, and providing them with the space, resources, and data needed to implement their solutions.
