We use education and basketball as tools to help African youth realize their own potential, and to become role models and mentors for future generations.
HISTORY Inspired by his own international student-athlete experience, Amadou Fall envisioned SEED Project (Sports for Education & Economic Development) to support the holistic and educational development of young people in Africa. He launched SEED in 2002 and continues to support African youth as Chairman of the SEED Board and VP & Managing Director NBA Africa.
