Our Commitment

We Are United in Our Dedication to Childhood Support

Who We Are

We are not looking to just give a man a fish; we are teaching them how to fish

No man has truly lived until he has touched a life for the better. Our job on Earth is to support and care for one another through humility, love, and respect.

We are empowering kids with hope through basketball. We are working to encourage education and basketball in Africa.

Our Approach

We Accomplish Our Mission Through These Simple Actions

Build a borehole that will provide clean drinkable water for the kids
Build basketball courts to help sway kids away from streets and gang activities
Serve as mentors to guide these young men to their full potential
Provide shoes and clothing to help support the young talents Africa has to offer
Provide home and shelter for the kids who have no home

We are making it possible for people to support kids in Africa through sports. We help people expand their philanthropic footprint with non-profit vetting, grantmaking, charitable gift cards, shoe donations, and an opportunity to mentor kids.

— Our Mission

As a foundation, the goal is to empower kids in Suleja through basketball to stay in school, share hope, and guide them to newer heights.

— Our Vision

Our projects look to restore hope, belief, and courage needed to battle life in the underdeveloped rural areas of Africa. Through mentorship, provision of basic life amenities, and basketball, we will rekindle hope for a bright and better future that has been stolen by unending poverty and hardship.

— Our Story

Growing up in Africa, I was not afforded the privilege of dreaming or hoping for a bright future. Eight years ago from the time of this writing, I was given the opportunity to step away from the grip of poverty in Africa through a high school basketball scholarship in America. Today I am a professional basketball player, an engineer, an author, and a philanthropist. The goal is to give back to the community the same opportunity I was awarded years ago.
