About Us
Beyond Hoops Africa is a sport for development organization using basketball and life-skills to empower youth and children. BHA rides on sport’s ability to educate, empower and inspire youth from all walks of life. Sport is inherently about drawing on, developing and showcasing young people’s strengths and abilities. We aim to shine a light on what youth can do, rather than what they cannot do. This strength-based approach promotes hope and encourages youth and their communities to adopt a positive outlook. Our current programs are run in Kenya.
