PHILOSOPHY
EDUCATION
Our philosophy is that kids can do pretty much anything, if you give them the support they need and surroundings to flourish in. This is what we try to do at Basketball Unite in an esteeming and loving, yet disciplined manner. We believe that basketball can teach kids teamwork, creativity, long-term goal-achievement, form a community and promote a healthy lifestyle. We think that this community can and should also give them additional support in their academic careers and personal development.
PRIVILEGE
We also believe that in a country faced with economic hardship like Ghana children in general and less privileged children especially need this support desperately, on a regular basis and they need it to be for free. Furthermore we hold it to be true that the western world, especially central Europe has historically played and still plays an impactful and negative role in these economic hardships through colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism and capitalist exploitation.
independence
We frequently need financial assistance and equipment donations to replace gear and pay for expenses. We cannot negate this fact. But just like Ghana gained it’s independence from Europe in 1957 under it’s first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, we strive to be as self-dependent as possible so that our NGO is still functioning, even if there is no outside assistance coming in. Whenever this is not possible we look for long lasting cooperations on eye level or one time donation campaigns, invested into long lasting renovations and equipment.
