Help Ghana Become the Home of Boxing!

Help Ghana Become the Home of Boxing!

Hi, I’m Chakabars, and I’m raising money for the Will Power Boxing Gym in Jamestown, Accra — and its neighboring gym, Attoh Quarshie.

Jamestown is one of Accra’s most historic neighborhoods. It’s also one of the toughest places to grow up — especially if you dream of becoming a world-class athlete. Right now, about 45 passionate boxers train at these gyms every day. They sleep in a leaking gym ring and a room with holes in the ceiling. When it rains — and rainy season is here — they’re soaked through every night.

They deserve better.

Our Plan

With your support, we will:

✅ Renovate the gyms — repair roofs, toilets, showers, and structural damage

✅ Build proper dormitories so fighters can sleep safely and dryly

✅ Provide water tanks, lighting, and fans to improve the gym environment

✅ Supply new boxing equipment like gloves, boots, mouthguards, and bags

✅ Feed all 45 fighters one nutritious meal a day — prepared by a chef on-site

✅ Host monthly community events so local people can come train, watch sparring sessions, and help grow Ghana’s boxing movement

✅ Fix up the historic slave dungeon in Jamestown as a memorial and educational space, so people can honor the past and learn about this vital piece of African history

And that’s not all — we’ll also establish a small smoothie & juice bar at the gym for athletes and visitors alike and offer one free meal and training session per week for local children to encourage new talent.

Why This Matters

Jamestown has a proud history of producing boxing champions — and we want to take this to the next level.

When these athletes go to camp to prepare for fights, they receive as little as $150 per camp and often have to work nights just to afford food. They’re making huge sacrifices to chase their dreams.

Imagine what they could achieve with proper equipment, dry places to sleep, and regular meals.

Imagine the next world champion hailing from Jamestown because people like you decided to believe in them.

What It Will Cost

Here’s a quick breakdown of our key one-time setup and ongoing yearly needs:

• Will Power Boxing Gym renovation: $60,000

• Attoh Quarshie Gym renovation: $40,000

• Dormitories for fighters: $50,000

• Toilets & showers: $20,000

• Renovation of the dungeon: $20,000

• Water tanks & utilities: $2,254

• Monthly food bill ($5,000/month): $60,000 per year

Total for one year of food + renovations: $252,254

We also need to add a crazy bars set up, for callisthenics, but I will get an estimate of this as we go along!

Your donation will go directly toward making this vision a reality — every dollar brings these athletes one step closer to their dreams.

Let’s Make Champions

Your support will help uplift talented athletes who simply need the right environment to shine. It will also help preserve a vital piece of African history and give back to the Jamestown community — because this project is about so much more than boxing.

Please donate today — let’s make some African champions together! Every contribution, big or small, means the world to these fighters and their future.
