“The basketball court has served as a symbol of hope and opportunity, inspiring young people to pursue their dreams." – Esther, athlete & aspiring coach.

Our travelers have also helped fund the creation of 4 basketball courts: 2 in Kenya (2022), 1 in Rwanda (2023), and 1 in Morocco (2024). But there’s more - in 2025, we’re excited to announce that a 5th court will open in South Africa! Acting as community hubs for youth to unite through the transformative power of sport, these courts provide safe spaces to access mentorship and life-skills training – because when kids have the tools to succeed, the sky’s their limit.
