卡姆沃基亚社区中心是当地非营利性的卡姆沃基亚基督教关怀社区和Ameropa基金会合作的成果，前者在乌干达首都坎帕拉最贫穷的地区之一开展体育、休闲和艺术活动，后者在国际上从事旨在改善边缘化社区生活的项目。
The Kamwokya Community Centre is the fruit of a partnership between the local non-profit Kamwokya Christian Caring Community, which runs sports, leisure, and artistic activities in one of the poorest areas of Uganda’s capital, Kampala, and the Ameropa Foundation, which works internationally on projects that aim to improve the lives of marginalized communities.
该项目的目标是保持和加强该地的公共性和自由性，不寻求强加，而是温和地提升它。操场为现场已经发生的活动提供了一个更有利的空间，如体育训练和比赛、自发的聚会、社区活动、研讨会、音乐和舞蹈课。
The project’s goal is to maintain and enhance the public and free character of the site, seeking not to impose, but to uplift it gently. The playground provides a more conducive space for the activities already happening on site, such as sports training and matches, spontaneous gatherings, community events, workshops, music, and dance classes.
整个项目是在一个具有高效排水系统的平台上进行的，以保护其在大雨期间不受经常性的洪水影响。该平台通过轻微的水平差异被划分为不同的区域，使多种活动可以同时进行而不相互干扰。主要的运动场，有排水和遮阳，周围有类似护栏的台阶，可以观看比赛或非正式聚会。
The entire project is raised on a platform featuring an efficient drainage system to protect it from recurrent floods during heavy rains. The platform is divided into distinct areas by slight differences in level that allow multiple activities to take place simultaneously without interfering with one another. The main sports field, drained and shaded, is surrounded by tribune-like steps to watch the games or gather informally.
在平台上，两座自然通风的建筑容纳了一个小型健身房、一个网吧、各种用于上课和研讨会的多用途房间、一个音乐工作室和一个办公室，以及一个相邻的卫生区。这些空间被两个由钢结构抬高的蝴蝶屋顶所覆盖，以便于空气流通，这使该场地在城市环境中具有强烈的识别性。
On the platform, two naturally ventilated buildings house a small gym, an internet café, various multi-purpose rooms for classes and workshops, a music studio, and an office, as well as an adjacent sanitary block. These spaces are covered by two butterfly roofs raised by steel structures to allow for airflow, which gives a strong identity to the site in its urban context.
除了实用功能外，该项目旨在通过成为灵感和自豪感的来源来改变社区，反过来可以创造一种代理和所有权的感觉。
Beyond its practical function, the project aims to transform the community by becoming a source of inspiration and pride that in turn can create a sense of agency and ownership.
