The Amazing Youth Centre (Northern Uganda)

Location: Patongo, Pader, Uganda
Client: Jubilee Action (Uganda Chapter)?

Nature of work: This year, Jubilee Action has committed to building a new youth centre in the war-ravaged Patongo, which will bring education and counselling to the traumatized children who were abducted by the LRA insurgents. Article 25 and Henning Stummel Architects (UK) were contracted to design the rehabilitation centre using compressed earth, and GET (DA) has been offering local (Uganda) design support.

Current status: Ready for tendering (September/October 2010). The non-interlocking format CEB has been adopted for this project and a local developer to be contracted to construct the centre.

Results / Outcomes: Project yet to be implemented.
