Dankind Academy is a humanitarian project inspired by former East African NBA players Luol Deng and Manute Bol who have given back so much in their home nation of South Sudan.

We hope to encourage the next generation of aspiring basketball players from all nations in Africa to follow their example. With a purpose built basketball facility in Uganda we will have a location to educate, mentor and train 96 talented male and female student-athletes every day. We want our graduates to further their education and we will assist them in acquiring full athletic scholarships at colleges and universities around the world. Our goal is to prepare our alumni to become gainfully employed adults and if possible professional basketball players while also becoming a brother and sisterhood that assemble as a growing group of charitable role models dedicating 10% of their future earnings to creating a bright future for their communities, nations and next generation.
