PLAYING FOR PEACE

We believe Basketball CAN SAVE LIVES!

REBUILDING PEACE AND SAVING LIVES

Wherever peace is fractured we intervene and support young people. The campaign harnesses the influence of the basketball community to work in both short-term and long-term crises.

We work in communities worldwide and contribute to the longer term crisis communities are facing by developing intervention programs and implement Peace Centers to support youth.

During calamities and short term crises we respond as quickly as possible during disasters, remaining by their side long after the attention has faded with the help of our trusted local partners.

The campaign aims to:

Engage the BASKETBALL community to come together to contribute to short and long-term crisis.

Build RESILIENCE long term amongst young people, families, and communities.

Create sustainable change for young people increasing the chances for PEACE.

Sustainable work is locally‑led

We work exclusively with local partners who build sustainable, community-owned basketball projects. Our partners also facilitate comprehensive health, coaching, and referee programming to protect each program’s long-term goals.
