Our Schools

Skateistan’s story is the story of our skate schools. Five education facilities with state-of-the-art skateparks, found across Afghanistan, South Africa and Cambodia, where girls and boys of all walks of life can learn, play and shape their futures.

South Africa

Since 2014, Skateistan has worked across South Africa and has a permanent school in Johannesburg, complete with a concrete skatepark, offices and several classrooms. Programs run five days a week in the afternoon for children to attend after they have been to public school.

Cambodia

Skateistan Cambodia first began running programs in Phnom Penh in 2011. We offer free sports and non-formal education programs that benefit children aged 5–17, with a focus on girls, students from low socio-economic backgrounds, and children living with disabilities.

Afghanistan

Skateistan’s award-winning programs provide opportunities to children aged 5-17, especially girls, who not only learn the national school curriculum through our Back-to-School program, but valuable life skills that go beyond the classroom too. We are in Kabul, Mazar-e-Sharif, and Bamyan.

Supporters & Awards

Anybody can be a Citizen of Skateistan

From brand partners and foundations, to donors and ambassadors, Skateistan wouldn't be the award-winning international NGO it is today without our supporters & those who have recognized our work.

Skateistan stretches across humanity, and anybody can be a citizen. All you’ve gotta do is dig what we’re about, and believe that everybody—regardless of spiritual beliefs, birth country, race, gender, sexual orientation, or push stance—is of equal worth.
