Please donate equipment or funds to help more people get involved in tennis in Ghana, West Africa.

In 1986 my father, who was a Ghanaian, brought me my first tennis racket; a racket I still have today.  It started me on a journey as a tennis fan, then player and now coach that has lasted over 30 years.  The power something as simple as a racket, a ball, a bat, a pair of shoes or football boots can have on a child should never be overlooked.

When I founded Appeti Tennis in 1998 my goal was to get as many people, particularly children, playing tennis as possible.  Since that time over 25,000 children have been introduced to tennis by us free of charge through our 123 junior tennis initiative.

I am very proud that from 2020 Appeti Tennis in collaboration with Tennis Foundation Ghana has been working hard to get more balls and rackets in the hands of players of all ages in Ghana, West Africa, my fathers home country.

I have 2 simple asks of my friends and fellow tennis players in the UK.

• Donate any useable balls, tennis clothing, tennis equipment or rackets you have.

• Make a donation to help with funding the costs to ship these items to Ghana.

We use 200 Litre shipping barrels with each one costing around £110 to buy and ship, so far we have shipped 10 Barrels, the contents of our first barrels was donated and £1364 was raised to ship them.

Following on from this we would like to send volunteers to Ghana to help coach and help players from Ghana come to England to train.

If you can be of any help please use the 2 buttons on this page or get in touch with us directly by clicking here if you would like to help in another way.

Thanks for your support.
