To lead, you must first be willing to learn. 🗣️🏀 Masai Ujiri’s message from our Mali coaches clinic is a universal truth for every leader: Keep your heart open to the game and leave the ego at the door. That is how we build a legacy. That is how we #DreamBig.

Sport is more than a game – it’s a bridge. 🏀🌍 On #IDSDP, we celebrate how sport connects communities and helps youth lead. Through Dribble for Peace, every court in the Sahel becomes a space for resilience and hope. Investing in sport is investing in peace.

Through our Women’s Empowerment program, we brought together over 40 dedicated leaders in Mali to sharpen their skills at an all-female coaches' clinic. 🇲🇱🏀 These women are the architects of the future, and their journey is just beginning.

Spending the day with Michael Blackson, Masai Ujiri, and the GOA coaches on the new court at the Michael Blackson Academy showed these kids that their village, their country, and their mentors are in their corner. Seeing is believing. 🏀❤️

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.

We’ve unveiled our first court in Koulikoro, part of our Dribble for Peace program. Whether in climate-affected or war-torn regions, sport is the force that unifies us and changes the agenda. Together, we belong here. 🤝🏾⚡

Through #DribbleForPeace, we are expanding our Built Within program to 10 countries, building infrastructure and opportunity across the Sahel to nurture the next generation of African leaders. Read the full announcement: giantsofafrica.org/latest/masai-u…
