Over the past 20 years, the youth of Africa has been a constant source of inspiration for Giants of Africa. As we reflect on our journey so far, we’re excited to share a sneak peek of what lies ahead.
In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we brought together youth from 16 different countries for the inaugural Giants of Africa Festival in Kigali, Rwanda. It was a remarkable week-long celebration of basketball, culture, education and entertainment, that will forever be in our hearts!
Our goal is to inspire youth from the African diaspora with programs focused on empowerment and leadership, both on and off the court.
Giants of Africa travels the African continent conducting basketball camps for boys and girls, building courts, and facilitating outreach initiatives to empower youth throughout Africa.
17 Participating countries
6000+ Campers
200 Campers received scholarships to the U.S.
34 Courts built
To celebrate International Day of the Africa Child 2023, Masai Ujiri and the Giants of Africa team visited with staff and students at Winston Churchill Collegiate Institute, home of the Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement.
Giants of Africa is proudly supported by dedicated partners and donors who are committed to helping us reach more youth, in more countries across the African continent, and around the world.
