The Gnars team at Climate Skaters Kiteezi, one of the most authentic and important skateparks I've ever experienced. Located in the heart of Kiteezi, this space is not only a hub for skate culture in Africa but also a vital resource for the local community. The skatepark provides young people from the neighborhood with a unique opportunity to express themselves, develop skills, and connect in a safe and inclusive environment. More than just a place to skate, Kiteezi represents hope and transformation, inspiring a new generation of skaters and strengthening the bonds within the community.

The first event we hosted in Uganda was filled with fun, creativity, and the joy of kids receiving brand-new skateboards—plus plenty of pizza! GNARS was present, and several brands from the Brazilian skate scene contributed by donating fresh products. This was all made possible by the Kampala Skateboard Initiative.
