Cuba outreach and sports clinics

Havana and surrounding areas, Cuba

Members of our team returned to Cuba to continue outreach and expand our work into additional areas outside of Havana.

What this project looks like on the ground

Team members ran sports clinics for local youth and also delivered contributions of children's clothing to meet identified community needs.

Expanding beyond Havana lets us reach clubs and schools that rarely see organized clinics or new equipment.

SAWB is volunteer-run — no salaries, no office overhead. Donations may pay local organizers and coaches for the year-round work that keeps programs going.

Keep it going

Your gift keeps this going all year

SAWB is volunteer-run. Giving supports the local coaches and organizers leading programs here, the equipment their athletes need, and the cost of running leagues and clinics.

  • Local organizers and coaches

    Trusted local leaders, compensated appropriately for their own economy, who identify needs, run activities and keep programs going all year.

  • Sports equipment

    Gloves, balls, bats, kits, cleats and shoes — collected where we can, purchased where a program still has a gap.

  • Programs and leagues

    The ordinary costs of play: field and gym time, referees, league and clinic materials, and the small things a season needs.

  • Getting gear where it's needed

    Collection, storage, baggage, shipping and customs, so donated equipment actually reaches the athletes using it.

  • Project travel, only when it counts

    Occasional SAWB travel when hands-on clinics, a delivery or a specific project genuinely calls for people on site — never as the default.
