La Constance Tennis Center in Ghana, Africa
Inspired by the strongest and most inspirational woman in his life, Dr. Alex Boafo founded La Constance Tennis Center in 2014 in Akropong, Ghana naming it after his mother, Constance. Created to share the legacy of his mom all while sharing the love for his favorite sport of tennis. Having raised 9 children on her own, Constance always encouraged her kids to dream big and in doing so she raised successful, smart children who are now making a difference in the lives of many. The La Constance Tennis Program continues to introduce many children to a sport they would otherwise know nothing about and keeps them off the street and into organized instruction.
With a single court to share amongst many kids, the coaches not only teach the sport of tennis but also help the kids with their school work and enhance their chances to enter Universities. With your help and donations, this program can continue to grow and make an impact on the yough in Akropong.
