LOUIS EDEM FOUNDATION
Creating a Sustainable and Stimulating Life for Athletes.
We provide academic scholarships and start up grants for small businesses to athletes.
Who we are?
As a Nation with an estimated 60 per cent youth population under the age of 25, the importance of education, sports and a livelihood cannot be overemphasized, the Louis Edem Foundation invests its time and resources in organizing basketball championships and academic forums where athletes can compete, earn and learn from mentors about the importance of education, and how to acquire different life skills.
Championship & Community
Community sports play a large role in youth crime rates. A combination of risk factors, including boredom and a lack of supervision, can lead to delinquent behaviour. Since most sports programs are after school, it’s a great way to occupy their time, while also providing a positive, healthy outlet for kids and their extraordinary energy levels.
Mentorship & Empowerment
A society will be secured enough when your youth is empowered because an empowered youth will never give any harm to the society in which they are living. Youth empowerment creates a sense of responsibility and leadership skills in our youth due to which they can feel and identify the actual practical problems of the society from which many people are suffering.

Championships
Championships are a great way to introduce mentorship into a person’s life. These relationships are not only beneficial to the mentee but the mentor as well. Local sports can bring a community together, increasing meaningful connections and social bonds. This extends from the athletes to include their parents. Attending a game is a meeting place for many people to connect and catch-up, further bonding the community.
Empowerment Program
Athlete empowerment accentuates giving athletes autonomy for decision-making with the clear purpose of offering them opportunities to make choices, be responsible, and develop higher levels of motivation. The focus in Sport Education is on placing the athlete in the center of the experience where the participant can become competent, literate, and enthusiastic as a result of participation. This is in line with the nonlinear pedagogical approach, where the learning processes can be structured by manipulating performer constraints.
