Vanuatu Basketball Federation has made significant progress this year with several development programs, including the Vanua Hoops initiative, which brings basketball directly to local communities.
The program aims to engage 40 students, but strong interest during outreach sessions has seen many more children joining Vanua Hoops.
This initiative is supported by FIBA and coordinated by the Vanuatu Basketball Federation, with Mildred Izono and her husband Pita Izono leading the efforts.
