© Hoops Care International 2012 Providing opportunities for youth to develop leadership skills, healthy lifestyles, work ethics, commitment, honesty and integrity Hoops Care International (HCI) is a non-governmental organization located in the community  of Amanful in Cape Coast, Ghana. It officially began in 2008 as a program to empower youth  in the community through sports. Since then, it has grown to include care and outreach  surrounding health and education. HCI works closely with youth from twelve schools in Cape  Coast, along with single mothers, teen mothers, and handicapped individuals. In addition to  running regular activities and programs surrounding sports, health, and education, HCI also  coordinates events to address important issues. HCI has made a significant impact with its  programs already, and always looks for new ways to support and empower community  members.
