A social media skills-based challenge has been launched to raise money to build the first full-size GAA pitch on the African continent.

The Kilkenny to Kampala '#K2KGAAChallenge' is asking social media users to video their best GAA skill and make a donation with the hope of raising funds for Kampala GAA in Uganda. The funds will be used to build a new GAA pitch and provide equipment and meals for children following training in the new Kampala GAA club.
