Beyond Hoops Africa

Beyond Hoops Africa Beyond Hoops Africa is a sport-for-development organization using the power of sports to drive community growth & empowerment.

We harness sports' potential to educate, empower & inspire youth from diverse backgrounds through programs in Kenya & Canada. Beyond Hoops is a sport for development with the purpose of using sports as an intervention to reach out to talented youth who don’t get opportunities to excel in education and athletics because of the limitations brought forth by life challenges and financial barriers. Bey

ond Hoops launched its Kenyan chapter on December 4, 2010, through a 5-day basketball camp in Nairobi, Kenya which included international basketball players, coaches, and youth educators who facilitated a basketball camp and life skills training with the aim of coaching youth proper basketball fundamentals and creating a platform to discuss about social issues happening in the community like drug abuse, HIV/AIDS, mental health and climate change.

“The best way to communicate a potent message to a large and receptive audience is to present it in an easily digestible, informative, and entertaining way: sports have this ability.”

The Power of Sport to Fuel Climate Action !

This World Environment Day, Beyond Hoops Africa brought together youth and adults in the D**oretti community to celebrate the role sport can play in advancing climate action and environmental stewardship.

The day began with a leadership circle before participants gathered at Lenana School Primary to plant trees and help reclaim green spaces within the school and community. Through this hands-on activity, BHA team, young people and community members demonstrated that climate action starts with local action.

Following the tree planting, participants took part in an exciting lacrosse introduction clinic led by Lynatt Sports coaches. The clinic highlighted how sport can serve as a powerful platform to engage communities, inspire action, and connect people around shared goals.

As we celebrate this year’s World Environment Day theme, we are reminded that protecting our environment requires collective effort. By creating greener spaces and empowering the next generation of environmental stewards, we are investing in a healthier and more sustainable future for all.
Big S/O to our visitor from Canada who has facilitated our programs in Canada & completed a full circle of engaging in our activities in . Much appreciation to the BHA team & Lynatt Lacrosse coaches for great leadership to make the day a success

Together, we planted. Together, we played. Together, we took action for our planet.

We are excited for the new look of our Dare to Dream Centre. Access to a safe space for children and youth is a necessity. We take it as an obligation to ensure our youth can gather, be inspired, encouraged, and supported to navigate the complex issues that often come with growing up in communities with limited resources. When caring and responsible adults show up consistently, they become the game changers, helping young people feel seen, heard, and valued while providing the encouragement and support they need to dream bigger and build brighter futures.
