7Hills skatepark – Amman, Jordan

Currently our skate program reaches an average of 150 kids every week, 70% of which are of refugee backgrounds, and 40% of which are girls.

Pushing Myanmar

Pushing Myanmar is creating the first free of charge community-built skatepark in Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar (Burma). The Yangon City Development Committee has granted permission for German non-profit organization Make Life Skate Life to construct a 300m2 concrete skatepark at a public park in Kamayut Township, close to downtown Yangon. If we can reach our fundraising goal, construction will begin November 15 and the skatepark will be open to local youth by December 5!
