Girls' Basketball Champions!

In 2017, REAP and Duha Complex School came together to make the students’ dreams a reality- a basketball court was installed at the school and sponsored by REAP!

The girls of Duha Complex School came together to form a basketball team and one of the teachers volunteered to coach the team. The team trained for the year in preparation for the 2019 Championship.
The Duha School was selected to host the annual tournament since it is the first day school in the entire district to install a standard basketball court.

The Rwamagana District contains 77 schools and the Duha School placed first in the tournament after defeating the reigning champions, who held the title for three years in a row.
In addition to supporting physical health and building community within the school, sports give opportunities to enroll in schools of excellence with sports scholarships. Before the basketball team was formed, handball was a popular sport at the school. Over the years, 40 girls have been recipients of sports scholarships to schools of excellence and many have gone on to university.

CONGRATULATIONS!!
