Building access. Creating opportunity. One step at a time.

Our Work

More Than a Gym

At Springboard for Africa, our work begins with a gym—but it’s about so much more than gymnastics. We’re building Nigeria’s first international-standard gymnastics facility not just to train athletes, but to create a springboard for community growth, movement, and opportunity.

Programs for All

Our programs will be designed for all ages and skill levels, from children taking their first cartwheel to adults seeking wellness through physical activity. By offering classes, camps, and events that are open to everyone, we’re using sport as a tool for connection, bringing people together through movement, shared goals, and a sense of belonging.

Movement as a Foundation

We believe that physical education is foundational to a thriving community. That’s why we’re not only focused on developing elite athletes, but also on making movement accessible to all. Through this facility, we’re creating jobs, offering mentorship, and opening doors to a more active, empowered future for youth and families alike.

Building Community Through Sport

This is about building something bigger than sport. It's about building community—one spring, one step, one class at a time.

    Expanding Beyond the Gym: Laying the Groundwork for Community Impact

     As we prepare to build Nigeria’s first international-standard gymnastics facility, we’re also planning community-led projects that will bring people together and create a positive impact around the future site.

    These initiatives are part of our commitment to making this space meaningful from the very beginning—serving the local community while we work toward breaking ground.

  • Borehole Water System

    Borehole Water System

     We plan to provide a clean and reliable water source to support families living near the future facility—helping to improve daily living conditions and promote health and well-being.

    Many families in the surrounding area have limited access to clean, reliable water. By building a borehole system near the future gym site, we hope to support better health, reduce daily hardship, and provide a lasting resource the whole community can benefit from.

    Community Water Park & Playground

    We aim to create a safe, active space where children and youth can come together to move, play, and connect—encouraging physical activity and togetherness before the gym even opens its doors.

    These early efforts reflect our broader mission: to increase access, strengthen communities, and spark opportunity—starting with the land itself.
