• I. LYSD – OUR VISION

At LYSD, we use sport to educate, protect, empower and connect youth since 2012. We empower kids and teenagers to become Africa’s future leaders. We want to talk about their hopes and give them the means to achieve their dreams. We vision basketball as a great tool to bring together boys and girls from different social backgrounds and foster social inclusion and cohesion.

• I. LYSD – OUR EXPERTISE

To turn this vision into reality, we design inclusive programs and organize sports events for kids and teenagers. Creating synergies with local authorities, building

• r

upgrading facilities and training trainers are our first steps to set up environments full of opportunities for youth.

• I. LYSD – COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES

We create more alternatives to youth. We partner with the Togolese Ministry of Sports, the National Olympic Committee, the Basketball Federation and local authorities.

• I. LYSD – BUILDING & UPGRADING FACILITIES

Basketball requires facilities. We collaborate with sponsors, public & private organizations, to build or upgrade hoops & courts since 2014.

• I. LYSD – TRAINING TRAINERS

We strongly believe that LYSD trainers are more than basketball coaches for kids. They are the condition of success for our actions and they help us maximize our social impact. Thus, we work with adults and young adults (teachers, students, players…) involved in their community and sharing our vision. Every year, we bring on sport and social experts to run open trainings for our trainers and other basketball

• coaches. Improving their skills and empowering them is paramount to us.

We provide job opportunities as LYSD trainers to our programs most involved and deserving teenagers.

Ives Galley is from Kpalime, a small city 120km North of Lome, Togo’s capital city. He has been enrolled at ALA in 2012. Through our network, we provided him with a mentor (Boris Adokou – MBA, Cambridge Judge Business School) and we found him an internship at SOGEA SATOM in 2013. After two years at ALA, Ives joined the University of Berkeley, where he is currently finishing his second year in engineering. Freddy Zotchi is one of the most gifted young basketball player we met. In 2014, we helped him discovering the SEED Academy in Senegal (best basketball academy in West Africa). Then we sent him to an NBA camp in Burkina Faso. Few months after, he received a scholarship to pursue his dream at Liberty Christian School in the USA.
