Fostering sport as a pathway for education, inclusion and opportunity.
STATUS: under-design

The Story and Purpose of the Project

The project was developed to address the limited access that many young people face in engaging with structured sport and development opportunities. It aims to create a framework that combines sport, education, and capacity-building in order to support youth development and strengthen local ecosystems.

The initiative is implemented in Douala and Yaoundé, targeting young people aged 12 to 16, and is structured around basketball as a central activity. It brings together youth, educators, and local stakeholders through organised events and training activities.

The project combines several components, including sport training, educational workshops, and mechanisms for follow-up support. These activities are designed to promote discipline, teamwork, and engagement, while contributing to the development of individual and collective capacities.

In parallel, the initiative seeks to strengthen collaboration with local actors, including clubs and educators, and to contribute to the structuring of a broader system. The longer-term perspective includes the development of a basketball academy, intended to support training, education, and talent development.

Overall, the project positions sport as a tool to support structured engagement, capacity development, and the creation of sustainable opportunities for young people.

Stories of Impact

The project is designed to generate structured pathways for young participants through a combination of sport activities, educational workshops, and follow-up mechanisms including mentorship and scholarships. Activities implemented in Douala and Yaoundé aim to engage youth in organised environments that promote discipline, teamwork, and personal development. Through the identification of participants during camps and tournaments, the project establishes a basis for continued support, including academic accompaniment and sport development. This approach contributes to strengthening local capacities and creating opportunities for long-term engagement in both education and sport. The initiative is expected to support the progressive development of participants while reinforcing collaboration between local stakeholders, with a view to establishing sustainable structures such as a basketball academy.
