We are a non-profit organization building skateparks around Africa
On a mission to support kids and young adults in Africa through skateboarding.
In close partnership with Bonidee Skateparks.
Do you know what 's going on?
Health issues
91 % of the world’ s HIV - positive children live in Africa.
Poor education
Every second (51%) in the age group from 6 to 14 years is out of school.
No sports
Children have very little opportunities in terms of doing sports
Youth bulge
In some countries around 50% of the population are 15 years and younger.
What we do
As skateboarders we do what we know best
We build skateparks, we bring boards, we come up with educative activities and we share good times!
As a bunch of skaters we know how this sport is powerful in creating a community. We believe that this aspect can be the key to sustainable help. Especially regarding younger generations.

Stories
Some cool moments
Doing this, it is not just great times spent in Africa, but also hours and hours of planning and meetings. These are some great moments and stories that we experience on the way to all of this.
