I was selected to represent the State of Qatar as a FIBA Foundation Youth Leader — one of a small group of young leaders chosen globally to design and deliver sport-based social development programs in their communities.

This role sits at the heart of my belief that sport is one of the most powerful tools for social change. Through the FIBA Foundation, I've had the opportunity to act on that belief at scale — connecting local need with international support and shared values.

Basketball for Good

Through the FIBA Foundation's Basketball for Good initiative, I design and deliver programs that use the game as a tool for inclusion, leadership, and social development — bringing young people together regardless of background, nationality, or circumstance.

These camps have served 135+ participants, including refugee and displaced communities across Qatar. Every program is built around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and is grounded in a simple idea: basketball is about far more than the scoreboard — it's a way to build character, trust, and community.

Community & Partnerships

My social impact work is sustained by strong relationships with local institutions, international sports governing bodies, and NGOs working on youth development and inclusion. I've represented this work at public events and community forums in Qatar and beyond.

If you represent a community organization, NGO, or governing body interested in collaborating on youth leadership or sport-for-development programs, I'd welcome the conversation.
