*Announcement*
It is with heavy hearts that we share an important update about the future of DIDA Sports Organisation CIC.
Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to raise the funding needed to sustainably continue the level of support and services we believe our communities deserve. Without that stability, we can not responsibly continue operations. As a result, we will be closing our work in Budaka, including our office, by the end of January 2026.
This is not a decision we ever imagined having to make. Since 2019, we have built deep and meaningful bonds with our beneficiaries, partners, and local leaders. The young people and families we have worked alongside have inspired us every step of the way, and stepping back from this work feels incredibly painful. We know this news will be disappointing for many, and we share that sadness with you.
While this chapter is coming to an end, we still believe deeply in the mission that brought us together. There is always the possibility that DIDA may evolve or re‑emerge in a different form in the future. For now, we need to pause, reflect, and honour the journey we have taken together.
To everyone who has supported us, through donations, volunteering, encouragement, or simply believing in our work, thank you. Your support has made a real and lasting difference in the lives of the young people we served.
We are profoundly grateful for the community that has grown around DIDA, and we hope you will stay connected as we navigate what comes next.
With gratitude,
DIDA Sports Organisation CIC
