Gloves for Africa, powered by the Gloves for Positive Change Foundation, is a project committed to empowering young people in underserved communities across Africa. Through the sport of boxing, we connect with youth in difficult environments, offering them a safe and positive way to channel their energy, stay off the streets, and pursue their dreams.
Through our boxing programs, we aim to instill discipline, hope, and resilience, empowering young people to overcome adversity and inspiring them to become champions—not just in the ring, but in life. Our mission extends beyond the sport itself; we are focused on transforming lives, building confidence, and shaping role models who can make a lasting impact within their communities.
In addition to boxing, we offer educational support and community outreach initiatives to ensure that these young individuals are equipped with the tools, resources, and mindset they need to create brighter futures. At Gloves for Positive Change Foundation, we believe in the power of sports and education to drive community development, foster youth engagement, and unlock opportunities for lasting, positive change.

Imagine a world where a pair of boxing gloves unlocks empowerment and transformation. Through Gloves for Africa, we’re working to turn this vision into reality in displaced communities across Africa.
We believe everyone deserves the chance to reach their potential and discover their inner champion.
With your generous support, we can provide essential boxing equipment like gloves, hand wraps, and punching bags. These tools may seem simple, but they carry the power to build discipline, self-confidence, and resilience, transforming lives one punch at a time.
History in the making! Damilare Arowolo (@iamuglywolf) just completed an incredible 5-hour, 1-minute punching bag session—without a single break!
This endurance feat is a stepping stone toward his ultimate goal: breaking the Guinness World Records for the LONGEST MARATHON PUNCHING A PUNCH BAG (currently 55 hours).
In April, he aims to set a new record of 60 hours—a true test of strength, resilience, and determination.
But this challenge is about more than just records. Damilare is on a mission to inspire young individuals from challenged communities, proving that with passion, persistence, and purpose, anything is possible.
Every punch is a statement. Every hour is a step closer. Let’s support his journey and show the world what dedication looks like!
