<div>Hello! My name is Olivia, and I’m a fourth-year student at <strong>Carleton University</strong>. Alongside my partners, Ben, Sierra, and Elijah, we’re raising <strong>$5,000</strong> to <strong>refurbish the community basketball court</strong> and <strong>provide essential sports equipment</strong> and<strong> basketball hoops</strong> for <strong>youth in Longido, Tanzania. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Sports play a powerful role in youth development</strong>, encouraging teamwork, confidence, and creativity. However, the existing basketball court in Longido is in need of repairs, and many schools in the surrounding area <strong>lack basic resources </strong>such as basketball hoops and sports equipment. Without proper sporting essentials, youth miss out on the <strong>physical</strong>, <strong>social</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>personal benefits</strong> that sports can provide. In <strong>April</strong>, we'll be travelling to Tanzania to help bring this project to life, and <strong>your support is key </strong>to making it happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Use of Funds:</strong>
</div>
<div>We are seeking $5000 to help cover the <strong>court refurbishing supplies</strong>. More specifically the supplies includes:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Pressure washer
</li>
<li>Acrylic primer/sealer
</li>
<li>Acrylic paint
</li>
<li>Silica Sand
</li>
<li>Repair mortar
</li>
</ul>
<div>Additionally, the funds will go towards <strong>new basketball hoops</strong> and sports equipment like<strong> basketballs, jerseys, shoes, etc.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Your Support Matters:</strong>
</div>
<div>With $5,000, we can improve access to sport by equipping schools with basketball hoops, supplying youth with the equipment they need to play, and conducting repairs on the constructed court. Your support will <strong>create opportunities for youth</strong> to engage in <strong>healthy, positive activities</strong> and experience the benefits of sports.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, our mission is to <strong>eliminate barriers and provide new opportunities for sports in Tanzania</strong>. Thank you for your support and making this project come to life.
