Sport 4 Development
We believe in the power of sports; it has catalytic effects within communities struggling with poverty, crime, conflict, and inequality.
We use sports as a tool for peacebuilding and social cohesion. By providing facilities and training for girls and youth who have survived violence and trauma, we offer them the opportunity to reclaim their sense of self. Many of these young people carry immense responsibilities from childrearing to household duties. Yet, on the court, they are free to express themselves, to compete, and to dream.
Sports can heal, empower, and accelerate inclusion and peace. The court becomes a space where confidence is rebuilt, resilience is strengthened, and teamwork fosters trust and belonging.
Their commitment and perseverance have led to remarkable achievements. In 2024, our girls’ basketball team was proudly crowned the Mogadishu Women’s Basketball Champions.
Their success on the court reflects the power of opportunity, equality, and hope.
