Jamad Basketball Club-September 2022

At Dahabshiil Transfer Services, we believe in the power of community and the importance of investing in the next generation. That’s why we’re thrilled to share the success of our recent partnership with Jama Basketball Club, where we co-hosted a groundbreaking two-day basketball event exclusively for girls. This was a landmark occasion — the first of its kind — aimed at providing young girls with a supportive, inclusive environment to explore their passion for sports.

 

The event welcomed hundreds of girls between the ages of 6 and 18, all eager to learn, connect, and grow through basketball. Over the course of two inspiring days, participants engaged in skills training, team-building activities, and motivational talks. A key highlight was the involvement of Jamad, a Somali American basketball enthusiast and well-known social media influencer. Her presence brought an added layer of excitement and encouragement, as she led coaching sessions, shared her personal journey, and inspired the girls to dream big both on and off the court.

 

The atmosphere was filled with energy, laughter, and a strong sense of sisterhood. For many of the participants, this event was more than just a sports clinic — it was a chance to be seen, heard, and empowered in a space designed just for them. The positive feedback we received from the girls, their families, and the wider community has been overwhelming.

 

This event marks just the beginning of our continued efforts to support youth development and gender inclusion in sports. At Dahabshiil, we remain committed to championing initiatives that uplift and inspire, and we look forward to building on this momentum with more impactful programs in the future.
