Jason Vanporppal is travelling across Africa on a mission to help build a large skatepark in Uganda, inspired by friendships with Ugandan skaters Isaac and Ephraim.

He says the skate community there lacks resources, with young skaters often forced to skate on dirt or in spaces where they are not always welcome.

Why it matters is simple. Youth need places to go that are not just school, home, or the street. A skatepark can be a magnet for discipline, creativity, confidence, and belonging.
