Program areas at The Ujiri Foundation

Giants of Africa Festival- Giants of Africa celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023. To celebrate, we brought together youth from the 16 countries we've visited for the inaugural Giants of Africa Festival in Kigali, Rwanda. The Festival was a week-long celebration of basketball, education, culture and entertainment uniting youth from all over Africa.
Built Within Initiative- We believe that a court is more than just a court. It can uplift a community, unite youth and provide job opportunities both on and off the court. In 2021, we made a commitment to build 100 courts throughout Africa. Each court introduces us to a special community, with unique hopes and dreams. As we continue our road to 100, we're shining a light on each and every one of them.
