“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.”- Nelson Mandela
Hi5 currently has two flagship programs – ‘Hope Thru Hoops’ & ‘Pathways to Success’
‘Hope Through Hoops’ is a four year, multi-level, basketball excellence program. This program creates an opportunity for the disadvantaged kids to learn basketball through professional coaching that follows our in-house curriculum.
'Pathway to Success' program is an education & counseling support initiative and is an extension to our ‘Hope Thru Hoops’ program. Designed especially for children (ages 16-19 years, sr. children in Hi5’s basketball program) - this program aims to provide them with the right guidance and opportunities to complete their higher education and pursue a successful career in life.
