LET KIDS BE KIDS

Access to sport changes everything.

Almost 2 million Palestinian children have been displaced from their homes over the last year. The majority are living in refugee camps and spend every day just trying to stay alive. Not only does this keep children out of school and sports, but it also leaves them vulnerable to diseases and mental health trauma. With the help of our local partners, we're on a mission to change that through our LET KIDS BE KIDS campaign.

When you donate to One Court Basketball you’re investing in the hopes and dreams of children in the West Bank and Gaza. Kids are healthier and have the chance to play and learn through sports. Coaches and community leaders can build stronger, more supportive environments. Families find hope in seeing their children thrive, both on and off the court. That's the power of your generosity.

How is basketball transforming the lives of children in Palestine?

  • Basketball offers a safe outlet for children in Gaza to cope with the trauma of conflict, providing them with a sense of normalcy, emotional healing, and a space to express themselves freely.

  • Basketball fosters teamwork and camaraderie, bringing children from different backgrounds together, helping them build relationships, and creating a sense of community amidst challenging circumstances.

  • Developing basketball courts in the West Bank ensures communities have access to recreation.
