Bakee Mtaani (“Basketball in the hood”) was designed to introduce basketball playing culture in the informal settlements within Nairobi. The Pilot full-size Basketball Court was launched in November 2020 at Gatina Primary School in Kawangware.
In 2021, we intend to construct a total of 12 basketball courts (half and full size) in different communities which will serve as safe spaces for driving social change.
The courts provide safe spaces for the youth to showcase their talents and to interact, keeping them preoccupied and hence reducing the chances of the youth engaging in social vices such as crime, prostitution and drug & substance abuse.
