[email protected]A sports center on the BVE campus in Bweyale: soccer and training turf, basketball and tennis courts, a running track and a gym, open to young people from the settlement and the surrounding community.
Many young people in and around the settlement have lived through war and displacement, and have almost nowhere safe to play, train or meet. Sport gives them structure, health and friends, and it helps people learn to trust again.
Sport also brings refugee and host-community youth together. Teams and tournaments build the ties a settlement needs, and a gym and track give people with and without disabilities a place to build strength and confidence.
A phased sports center beside Bweyale Vocational Education: a soccer turf pitch, a smaller training turf, basketball courts, tennis courts, a running track and a gym with changing rooms, water, toilets, solar power and lighting. It supports the Foundation's work with orphans, people with disabilities, widows and families in extreme poverty, who get priority places, alongside local youth. Coaches are trained locally.
Funds are released phase by phase, so each gift ends up in finished work.
Land confirmation, survey, drainage plan and a full design with costs, so each later phase is priced and ready.

Every project has a signed agreement with Bweyale Vocational Education covering scope, budget, timeline and reporting.
Money is released phase by phase, only after the previous phase has been inspected and the receipts checked.
Site photos, inspection notes and receipts arrive with each payment request and are reviewed by our board.
Funders get quarterly updates. Everything is summarized in our annual report and public CRA filings.
We follow the Canada Revenue Agency's guidance for charities that fund work through a partner abroad: due diligence, a written agreement, staged payments and regular reporting.
Cariboo Gate announced plans for a phased sports center on the BVE campus. Land, design and costs are being confirmed.
It is planned alongside our core work and funded separately, so no gift to the trades, wells or school is redirected. Sport also supports the counselling program, because it helps young people feel safe, healthy and connected.
The center will be run with BVE and a community sports committee, with trained local coaches. Cariboo Gate funds construction and the start-up of coaching and upkeep.
Priority places go to orphans, people with disabilities, widows' families and families in extreme poverty. The rest of the community, including local schools and teams, can use it on a published timetable.
The plan includes a maintenance fund and a small booking fee for outside groups, with all income spent on upkeep. These details are still being worked out.
Yes. Eligible gifts of $20 or more receive an official donation receipt. If your company would like visible recognition beyond a thank-you, we treat the payment as a sponsorship instead — the partner page explains the difference.
Extra gifts go to the next phase of the same project unless you tell us otherwise. We will never redirect a designated gift to a different project without asking you first.
Phase 1 needs $48,000 more to get under way (2027). Every gift, whatever the size, goes into finished and inspected work.
