Ujiri’s Giants of Africa to Host First Basketball Camp in Ethiopia

Giants of Africa will make its first-ever trip to Ethiopia to host a basketball camp at ICS Addis on March 1  and 2nd for 50 young men and women, ages 15 – 19, from the local community. Led by NBA personnel and former professional players, the camp will provide training and skill development while reinforcing the values of education, leadership, and empowerment. This initiative is another milestone in the organisation’s mission to harness the power of basketball to educate, inspire, and empower young Africans.

Giants of Africa is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to using basketball as a platform to enrich the lives of African youth through education, both on and off the court. Co-founded by Masai Ujiri, Vice-Chairman and President of the NBA Championship-winning Toronto Raptors, the organisation travels across the continent, hosting basketball camps for boys and girls, building courts, and leading youth outreach programmes focused on education, empowerment, and leadership.

There will be Basketball court unveiling ceremony, including remarks from Giants of Africa representatives and community leaders. The ceremony will be followed by a basketball clinic for boys and girls, conducted by NBA personnel.
