Community details
Initially working in Denmark and Lebanon, GAME has since brought the power of street sports to many parts of the world. In Ghana, the organization challenges gender-based discrimination and inequality. Head east to Somaliland and Kenya, and you’ll find GAME addressing tensions between clans and young people with varying political affiliations. While in Lebanon, one of its original areas of impact, GAME brings people from all backgrounds together to tackle discrimination and xenophobia. Throughout GAME’s efforts, equality is pivotal in its strategies, programs, and operations to create opportunities that meet everyone's needs and interests.
