Africa has one of the world’s youngest populations, over 60% of its people are under 25. For many, education alone isn’t enough; they need safe spaces to grow, connect and dream bigger.

In July 2024, we launched the Patoranking Community Empowerment Programme (PACEP), with a vision to build 100 astro-turfs across underserved communities in Africa.

Our first flagship turf in Ebute Metta, Lagos, provides a safe, alcohol and drug-free environment where young people can train, socialize and develop their talents. More than just a football pitch, it is a space for community, discipline and mentorship, a pipeline for the next generation of sports leaders.
