Shooting Touch

For 10 years, this tournament has been bigger than basketball. 🏀

This August, more than 2,000 people came together in Rukara Sector, Kayonza District, for our 10th Annual End GBV Basketball Tournament, using the power of sport to promote health, strengthen families, and raise awareness about gender-based violence.

⛹️‍♀️ Teams from Rukara, Nyamirama, Mukarange, and Rwinkwavu competed across age groups, from U13 athletes to women’s teams
🩺 635 people received free screenings and testing for HIV, noncommunicable diseases, and Hepatitis B and C
🎭 Shooting Touch youth performed a powerful skit focused on GBV prevention, reporting, and resources available to survivors

We were honored to welcome the Director General of Sports Development at the Ministry of Sports, Muvunyi Gilbert, as our guest of honor, along with delegates from the district and sector, for a day centered on basketball, health, family cohesion, and gender equality.

A special thank you to the Foundation and its Propose a Project initiative for believing in the power of sport and helping make this event possible. Together, we are investing in healthier, safer communities in Kayonza District.
