Basketball is so much more than a game - it is powerful tool for improving community health and impacting social change across Africa.
During the BAL Season 3 Finals in Rwanda, we teamed up with @ShootingTouch and @SpeakUpAfrica1 to use the platform of sport to raise awareness about Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) at the Shooting Touch basketball courts in the rural community of Nyamirama.
Shooting Touch is an international sport-for-development organization serving over 1,000 youth and 2,000 women in Rwanda, providing daily basketball training, health education, gender equity programs, and much more.
