Skateboarding with Eventure in Zambia
Eventure is a Danish organization that conducts charity projects in developing countries. Their mission is to support and drive sustainable development to enhance living conditions for people in underserved communities.
One of their major initiatives, Projekt Zambia, is situated near Lake Tanganyika. The project’s facilities include a kindergarten, a library, and a boarding school called Northern Star Academy. All services provided by Projekt Zambia are free, with all costs covered by Eventure and its sponsors.
SkatePro’s Partnership with Projekt Zambia
One of Eventure’s dedicated volunteers, Maria, contacted us as they were establishing a skateboarding school at Projekt Zambia.
There’s no skateboarding without skateboards, and we’re proud to have supplied essential gear, including skateboards and merchandise.
Maria reports that word has spread, and kids are now traveling long distances to join the skateboarding school. The footage from the sessions radiates positivity and skateboarding fun, so it's no surprise that it's attracting so much attention.
A project like this one is incredibly encouraging – here’s to many more skateboarding schools across the globe!
