Summary

Hoops 4 Hope (H4H) supports youth and community development in South Africa and Zimbabwe by combining the joy of playing sports with an effective HIV/AIDS– prevention and life-skills curriculum.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Since 1995, Hoops 4 Hope (H4H) has helped thousands of children face the extraordinary challenges of growing up in communities plagued by poverty, HIV/AIDS, and the legacy of apartheid. H4H provides them with the basic tools they need to play team sports, as well as positive role models from within their communities.

How will this project solve this problem?

• Hoops4Hope operates year-round after- school programs that develop long-term relationships with communities. • Combines the best HIV/AIDS knowledge with community and cultural realities. • Changing the attitudes and behaviors of young people.

Potential Long Term Impact

H4H provides accurate information and education geared towards encouraging young adults to form healthy relationships and make responsible choices.

Project Message

Children who were once confined by the clutches of unimaginable poverty, the overwhelming presence of HIV/AIDS, rampant illiteracy, and an unforgiving future are now blessed with new opportunities.
- Brad Shwer, Native South African and Supporter of H4H
