HOW DOES
PLAY EQUITY CHANGE YOUNG PEOPLES LIVES?
The Play Equity Movement
At the Bahati Foundation, we firmly believe in the transformative power of Play Equity – the notion that every young individual deserves access to sports and play opportunities, regardless of their background, zip code, gender, or socioeconomic status.
Our B/Smart Cycle outreach program addresses Play Equity head-on by providing underrepresented youth with the means to engage in sports and play that can shape their futures.
We envision a Los Angeles and a nation where inner-city youth have access to Play Equity alone with quality educational opportunities. We seek to create options for mobility through biking that is safe and convenient in their communities.
Support our work
By joining the team, you participate in the Bahati mission to GiveBACK and Play Equity.
Be a part of empowering youth with their first bike through our annual Motion Equals Healthy Annual Bike Giveaway. Be a part of promoting and increasing access to healthy lifestyles for underrepresented youth and their communities.

Message From Our Founder
"Being a product of schools in Compton and Los Angeles, I realize that inner-city students face a huge lack of resources and access to educational opportunities. I have a deep passion for GiveBACK, which is at the core of our foundation’s mission. We seek to inspire, motivate and engage youth through cycling and other outreach opportunities. We can make a difference and exceed our mission with your support."
