Hoops2Dreams Information

Hoops2Dreams is a non-profit organization dedicated to seeking social justice for under-provisioned children in Panama who have restricted access to education or sports. Shoes, clothing, school books and supplies are extremely limited in the communities we serve. Many of these children walk barefoot to spare the soles of their only pair of shoes - flip flops. We provide athletic shoes, apparel, school books, educational supplies, and social engagement programs. Through our basketball program, the children learn essential life skills, such as teamwork, goal setting, comradery, patience, persistence, self-actualization and how to respond positively to setbacks and failures in life. It is our goal to ensure every individual is educated, healthy, happy, mindful and possesses a positive social environment; this leads to future successes in seeking employment, social partnerships, family, sense of self and spiritual foundations.
