Using the power of sport to end violence, discrimination and disadvantage. Proving that sport can change the world. We facilitate life skills and leadership skills through sport by using basketball as a catalyst to create more shared spaces for under-resourced youth. As youth progress through our programmes, they grow to become advocates for peers of different races, genders, communities and socioeconomic classes. Our programming is facilitated by local coaches and centred around bridging divides, developing leaders, changing perceptions, and conflict transformation.
