Skate World Better is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering youth across Africa through skateboarding. Founded by Martin Louzecky in 2018 as a university project in Copenhagen, Denmark, the initiative later moved to Prague, Czech Republic, to expand its reach. The organization builds skateparks, provides skateboards, and runs educational programs to create new opportunities for young people. By using skateboarding as a tool for community development, they promote creativity, inclusivity, and active lifestyles in underserved areas.

Since its founding, Skate World Better has completed over 10 projects across Africa, working closely with Bonidee Skateparks to ensure high-quality construction. Their work has brought durable, well-designed skateparks to countries like Mozambique, Zambia, Eswatini, and Ethiopia, where skateboarding continues to grow. Each park serves as a hub for local skaters, artists, and youth programs, providing a safe and engaging space for recreation and skill development. Additionally, their efforts help introduce skateboarding to new regions, fostering a culture of self-expression and community engagement.

Beyond construction, Skate World Better actively collaborates with local organizations, volunteers, and international partners to expand access to skateboarding. They offer mentorship programs, workshops, and training sessions to equip young skaters with the skills and confidence to progress. By ensuring that each park remains well-maintained and actively used, they create lasting, positive change in the communities they serve.
