For the students at Michael Blackson Academy, this court is a reminder that their dreams are valid. 🏀 We were honoured to team up with Michael Blackson to unveil this new space in Nsaba, Ghana. A place built to foster confidence, perseverance, and the power of working together.

This is how we’ve grown the game in 2025. And we’re just getting started. We’re expanding our reach to engage more youth across Turkana County and Kenya, creating opportunities through basketball. Growing the game. Empowering youth. Building the future. #RBI #Basketball #Growth

International Women’s Day 🌍🏀 On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible women who choose to lead and create positive change in the global basketball community. Happy International Women’s Day! 💜🏀

We continue growing the game through weekly training sessions, participants focus on basketball skills development, teamwork, discipline, leadership, and mental resilience. The program encourages youth to build confidence, stay active, and support one another as a community #RBI

We can’t change a refugee’s past. But we can give them hope.

We extend our heartfelt wishes to all Muslims around the world for a blessed Ramadan. May this sacred month be filled with peace, reflection, unity, and countless blessings. #RamadanKareem

Watching the @NBA All Star game and @TeamUSA at the Winter Olympics, it’s clear that sports — just like music and art — still has the power to bring us together, build community, and remind us of our common humanity.

Day One of Elite Training Complete. Our first Elite Basketball Training session was a success. The energy from both players and coaches was incredible, with everyone fully committed and putting in the work. #Basketball #Refugees #RBI #Kakuma #HostCommunity

Hope on the Ball ✨ The vibes on court today were full of joy—smiles, laughter, and kids just being kids. This is how basketball brings hope to young refugees and reminds them their future is in good hands. That’s the heart of RBI.

Four reasons why investing in RBI means investing in real impact. #basketball #refuges #RBI #Kakuma #invest
