On Friday, the Toronto Raptors held their annual Giants of Africa game as they played the New York Knicks. This year, it was a little different though, as Giants of Africa celebrates two decades of empowering the youth of Africa. The first Giants of Africa Basketball Camp took place in 2003, and now 20 years later the organization has impacted over 40,000 youth in 17 different countries.
The organization decided to spend this anniversary highlighting how Giants of Africa empowers women in particular. To read up a little more on this, check out the special feature the Raptors released Friday — written by RaptorsHQ’s own Chelsea Leite.
