About Us
THE SKATING VILLAGE OF AFRICA
Climate Skaters Kiteezi is known as "The Skating Village of Africa" — a women- and youth-led movement building stronger communities and a sustainable future through the power of sport.
Founded next to the former Kiteezi landfill — and shaped by the tragic collapse of August 2024 — we use skateboarding, climate action, and mentorship to turn a place marked by hardship into a hub of hope, leadership, and environmental change.
