About Us
Centre des Jeunes Don Bosco
A Personal Connection Centre des Jeunes Don Bosco played a defining role in my upbringing and personal development. I was raised and mentored there and played basketball within the Don Bosco program, where education, discipline, and sports were used together to shape character and leadership. The values and support I received through Don Bosco had a lasting impact on my life and are the reason this foundation was created and why our work began there. Over the years, Don Bosco has helped many young men change the course of their lives by providing guidance, structure, and opportunity. Future Leaders of Africa Foundation builds on this legacy by supporting education and sports to help the next generation reach their full potential.
