The Duha School primary girls basketball team

The Duha School primary girls basketball team (made up of girls ages 13 -14) recently won the district-wide school basketball championship. Winning a championship often provides children the opportunity to go to schools of excellence with sports scholarships. REAP funded and built the basketball court that helped make the team successful. This is just one of the ways the REAP is making impact and providing opportunities to children.
