2026 EVENT
This summer, Hoops 4 Her returned to Eldoret, Kenya, for its second annual week-long camp at Moi University, expanding our reach through a growing partnership with GABL. With over 60 girls participating, the camp brought together basketball training, competition games, and educational and empowerment sessions led in collaboration with local partners. Campers received basketball gear, supplies, and opportunities to connect with university leaders and female athletes. Each girl left with new skills, friendships, and greater confidence, while participating schools received equipment to continue developing their programs. Through our partnership with GABL and Moi University, we are building a lasting foundation for girls to grow through basketball, leadership, and community.
2025 EVENT
Last summer, Hoops 4 Her launched its first every event in Eldoret, Kenya. The week-long camp was hosted at Moi University and coached by members of their women's basketball team. We had over 50 campers, and 6 teachers that participated in camp activities. The camp provided basketball training, competition games, and educational/empowerment sessions. Each girl left with a certificate, exposure to a local university, new friendships, and increased self-confidence. We sent each school back with basketballs to continue practicing and developing. Moi University also plans to host training sessions for these campers at their facility to help continue their growth. We are returning to Kenya to recreate this camp again this summer!
