In May 2026 we reached the halfway point of our Built Within initiative, a commitment to building 100 community basketball courts across Africa.

AfriCAN took place in Toronto on May 6th, 2026 – it was an entertaining and dynamic networking-style event celebrating African culture and connection.
From July 26 – August 2, the Giants of Africa Festival 2025 united 320 young men and women from 20 African nations for a week of basketball, entertainment, culture, community and education.
Our goal is to inspire youth from the African diaspora with programs focused on empowerment and leadership, both on and off the court.
