BAS provides a safe place for less-privileged youths to go to after school and get support in their studies along with basketball training, showing a perfect example of using Basketball For Good.
BAS is home to over 100 children.
Jacobina Uushona of BAS said they decided to clean the dilapidated stadium that is mostly used for athletic training, boxing and it is also home to homeless people that have been staying there since 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Uushona who is one of the country’s top female basketball player was part of the cleaning campaign alongside another female basketball player Petrina Aron, with the two players all turning out for BAS female basketball team.
Top paralympians sprinters such as Ananias Shikongo, Lahja Ishitile, and Johannes Nambala make use of the facility, while boxing academies, the MTC Nestor Sunshine Tobias Boxing Academy and the MTC Salute Boxing Academy have their boxing gyms at the premises.
