African project
Addis Skatepark – Ethiopia
Make Life Skate Life is a 100% volunteer-run non-profit organization that works
with local skateboarding communities around the world to create free of charge,
community-built concrete skateparks. The skatepark projects they have completed
in India, Bolivia, Jordan, Myanmar, and Ethiopia have been successful through local
community involvement from start to finish, providing local skateboarders with the
tools, materials, knowledge, and inspiration to create their own projects.
All of their skatepark projects remain sustainable through the establishment of free
of charge on-site skateboarding and safety equipment loaner systems, run by local
partner organizations, allowing all children free access to skateboarding regardless
of economic standing. Construction of skateparks is led by professional skatepark
builders who create world-class skateparks and share their knowledge in the art of
skatepark construction with skateboarding communities around the world.
