2025 Kenya Service Trip

Mountain Stars are fundraising now for our 2025 Africa Fundraising trip to Kenya, where they will build a school for a community in need and host a tournament in Mombasa, drawing in multiple African countries to celebrate competition through basketball.

Players and parents have signed up to take on roles to lead fundraising, donation collection, travel logistics, clothing drives, basketball camps, toys for the school children, painting, and building supplies. This trip is a significant multi-faceted project that is athlete-driven, building character and leadership skills while helping them to engage in service-oriented activities that give them an experience they could not have otherwise.

Mountain Stars is a basketball club like no other, and athletes in this program come out of the club season stronger emotionally and physically. Last year, our students reflected on their experience working in a needy Kenyan village, and they shared how impactful it was to see how their service and donations changed lives while witnessing the villagers' response, both teachers and children. They learned about how the families lived and could not help but be changed. All of our players expressed how much they take for granted at home, and this experience helped them realize how blessed we are at home. This trip nurtures a desire to serve that cannot be replicated.

Last year, our athletes raised $125,000 to help our communities in Africa. Could you help us do this again?
