SBF GHANA INTIATIVE
"The Saint Benedict’s Foundation initiative in the Ashanti Region is deeply personal to me. Growing up in Ghana, I know firsthand the power of sports to transform lives. Through this initiative, I hope to create safe, inclusive spaces where young people—especially girls—can thrive, learn, and develop the skills needed to shape their futures. This is more than just building courts; it’s about building opportunities for the next generation," Benny Bonsu, SBF Founder
SBF OBJECTIVES FOR THE ASHANTI REGION
At Saint Benedict’s Foundation, we are committed to transforming young lives through the power of sports. We aim to engage youth in activities that enhance their physical health, mental well-being, and personal growth.
The Challenge in the Ashanti Region
The Ashanti region faces significant challenges regarding youth engagement in sports. Many young people lack access to adequate sports facilities and structured programs, which hinders their opportunities for physical activity, personal development, and educational advancement. This gap not only impacts their health and well-being but also limits their potential to excel and lead.
Why This Matters
Sports have long been a vital part of Ashanti culture, with a rich history of athletic achievement and community pride. Historically, the region has celebrated sporting talent and communal spirit, yet many young people today do not have the resources or support to continue this legacy. By revitalizing sports infrastructure and creating accessible programs, we honor this tradition and provide new opportunities for youth to engage in activities that build character, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Our Approach
We partner with local and international organizations to develop and deliver sports programs tailored to the unique needs of the Ashanti community. By creating and renovating sports facilities, we ensure safe and accessible spaces for youth participation. Our initiatives also offer educational and leadership opportunities, equipping young people with essential life skills.
We advocate for policies that support youth sports, highlighting its crucial role in fostering healthier, more vibrant communities. Join us in our mission to empower the next generation, strengthen community partnerships, and celebrate the transformative impact of sports on youth in the Ashanti region.
