CORPORATE

FOUNDERS STORY

Social entrepreneur and founder of the Technical Basketball Academy (TBA), Titus Mwahafa has created an environment where young learners are being groomed to become Namibia’s basketball favorites and at the same time, excel in their academic lives.

The basketball academy started early in 2015 as an initiative to empower the Namibian child via integrated academic tutorials and entrepreneurship. This was in addition to basketball for both boys and girls.

The academy pays special attention to entrepreneurship which in Titus’ opinion is meant to fill the gaps within the labor market. “We all know that our labor market cannot absorb all graduates, so we teach children to venture into business from a very young age.”

He adds that the program aims to awaken idea identification and teach children how to run a fully-fledged business.

Technical Basketball Academy (TBA), also incorporates mentoring and celebrating the achievements of local business ideas.

“The uniqueness of our academy lies in our seven key offerings. We are a success because of the participation of the learners who are all taken in at no cost - regardless of the school the learner comes from,” said the social entrepreneur.

“As a social entrepreneur, empowering the Namibian child is the best way to give back to my community.”
