Building Stronger Futures — Together.
At Play of Hope, we believe sport is more than a game, it is a pathway to discipline, confidence, and opportunity. Founded in 2017, we work with children and youth from the Gayaza community and surrounding areas, using badminton as a tool to keep young people engaged, focused, and away from negative influences such as crime and school dropout.
We Are a Support System
Established in 2017
Play of Hope is more than a place to train. We walk with our players through their personal and educational journeys, encouraging them to stay in school, set goals, and develop life skills that prepare them for the future.





Providing mentorship and guidance
We create a safe and supportive space where young people can grow not only as athletes, but as students, leaders, and responsible members of society. Through training, mentorship, and guidance, we help them build healthy habits, strong values, and belief in their own potential.
