One Dollar - One Dream
Change Lives with the
Power of Basketball
Help transform the future of children in Colombia through values education and basketball. Join our mission and make a difference with a one-dollar subscription.
Our Approach
At Basketball for Children, we believe in using the power of basketball to transform the lives of underprivileged children in Colombia. Our approach combines free sports training, values education, and community involvement to create lasting impact. By offering our program at no cost to the children, we remove financial barriers and give them the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive. Here's how we achieve this:
Sports Training
We provide free, high-quality basketball training for children from low-income backgrounds. Our experienced coaches focus on developing essential skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. By creating an inclusive and supportive environment, we empower the children to become more confident, resilient, and successful both on and off the court.
Values Education
We incorporate values education into our basketball training programs, teaching children fundamental principles such as discipline, respect, perseverance, and commitment. By embracing these values, the children develop stronger character, self-esteem, and a greater sense of responsibility towards their community.
Mental and Physical Development
Basketball helps develop children's physical abilities, coordination, and endurance. However, we also focus on their mental development, including problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills. We believe that a balanced approach between physical and mental development is crucial for children to reach their full potential.
Community Involvement
We view the community as an essential partner in our mission to transform lives through basketball. We engage with local organizations, families, and residents to foster a sense of belonging and collective responsibility. By involving the community, we create a supportive network that encourages children to pursue their dreams and contribute positively to society.
Our approach is designed to create a comprehensive and sustainable impact on the lives of children participating in Basketball for Children. By combining sports training, values education, mental and physical development, and community involvement, we give children the tools and opportunities they need to build a brighter future.

OUR PROJECT
Phase 1: Bring basketball to every corner of the first department
We chose the department of Tolima to start. An important department in Colombia due to its central location from which future expansion will be easier. In the first phase we want to open a training school in each municipality of this department.
“Basketball saved my life, so I didn´t make into the NBA, if I did it would have been short-lived. I am 57 years old, and I get to perfom at school assemblies almost every single day and feed kids positive messages, I get to hear the laugther of children and see them smile and inspire them. Basketball has made me a better person, a harder worker, ambitius, more reliable and most important, a better dad"
