Already Happening

They didn't
wait for
permission.

Chase and Elan are two high school students — from different schools, who didn't know each other before this — united by a single belief: sports change kids' lives.

Elan visited Neema in Moshi, Tanzania and saw something that stayed with him: kids with serious game, serious joy, and serious talent — playing basketball on a dirt field with worn balls and no court.

"The development was funded upfront. Chase & Elan are raising to repay the loan in full — then flying back to play on it."

This isn't a promise. It's already happening. The development was funded upfront. Your donation goes directly toward repaying that loan in full.

The Story

Two
Schools.
One
Court.

Neema is a school and community in Moshi, Tanzania — at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro — home to hundreds of kids who love basketball with a ferocity that would surprise you.

They play on dirt. With cracked balls. Without lines, without hoops that stay level, without a surface that doesn't turn to mud in the rain. They play anyway. Every day.

"What started as one visit became a real project — with real construction, real momentum, and a real community behind it."

Chase is a junior at Suffield Academy. Elan is a sophomore at Belmont Hill. They didn't know each other before this. But they share the same conviction: a kid who has a safe place to play grows up differently.

So they didn't wait for someone else to do it. The development was funded upfront. Now Chase & Elan are raising $12,000 to repay that loan in full — and when it's done, they're flying back to play on it.

When it's done — they're going back. To play on it. With the kids who inspired this whole thing.

The Team

Different Schools.
Same Goal.

Chase
Junior · Suffield Academy

Chase brings the drive, the network, and the belief that high school students can do real things in the world. Sports have always been central to his life — and this project is proof that conviction turns into action when you stop waiting for someone older to lead.

Elan
Sophomore · Belmont Hill · @el.flxs

Elan has been to Neema. He played with the kids, saw the talent and the joy firsthand, and came home knowing something had to change. He's also a serious basketball player — his @el.flxs footage shows exactly the kind of game these kids deserve a surface to develop. His family made construction possible before a single dollar was raised.
