Support Our Work Partner With Us
DELA Community Development Initiative is a grassroots organization rooted in Northern Uganda, Kitgum District working closely with communities to support children and young people.
For over two decades, the Acholi sub-region in northern Uganda has experienced the long-term effects of conflict, including poverty, disrupted education, and limited opportunities for youth. These challenges continue to affect families today.
We exist to respond in a practical and meaningful way by creating safe spaces, nurturing talent, and promoting values that strengthen communities from within. Learn more about us.
We use music, dance, drama, poetry, Bible teaching and storytelling to inspire children, promote peace, and preserve cultural identity. The choir gives children a voice, builds confidence, and encourages discipline. Learn more
We support learning through mentorship, guidance, and activities that help children stay engaged in school and make positive life choices. Learn more
We are committed to transparency, accountability, and working hand-in-hand with our community to create meaningful and lasting change.
We work with families, local leaders, and community members to promote unity, positive values, and collective responsibility for children’s wellbeing.
We believe lasting change begins within the community.

Build on culture, creativity, and shared values
Grow step by step, together
Providing a safe and creative space for children
