Our Story

An initiative of MAA Sewa· 501(c)(3) Nonprofit · EIN: 41-2846809

Build100Hoops is a dedicated initiative under MAA Sewa, a registered non-profit organization, focused exclusively on building basketball courts for underprivileged children across India.

MAA Sewa was founded in 2021 by a small group of friends who believed that meaningful change begins with consistent collective effort. What started as each member contributing just $10 every month has grown into a continuing mission of supporting charitable causes and underserved communities in India. That simple commitment remains the foundation of MAA Sewa today, demonstrating that even small contributions, when combined, can create a lasting impact.

Through MAA Sewa's established presence and trusted network in India, Build100Hoops channels resources directly to the communities where they are needed most. We recognized a simple truth: while talent, enthusiasm, and dreams are abundant among children across India, access to basic sports infrastructure is not.

We chose basketball because it is one of the most effective and sustainable investments in youth development. A well-built basketball court can serve a school and its surrounding community for 30 to 40 years, requires minimal ongoing maintenance, and needs only basic equipment to keep children active. It provides a safe environment where young people develop fitness, teamwork, discipline, confidence, leadership, and lifelong healthy habits.

Every court we build is part of MAA Sewa's broader mission of community upliftment — ensuring that children from the most underserved communities get the same opportunity to play, grow, and thrive as anyone else.

Our vision is simple:

One Court. Hundreds of Children. Generations of Impact.

Together, we can build more than basketball courts — we can build healthier communities and brighter futures, one court at a time.

Our Work

Beyond Construction

Our work goes beyond building courts. Each court represents something much greater.

Better Physical Health

Regular play improves fitness, stamina, and long-term health outcomes for children.

Stronger Mental Well-being

Sport reduces stress, builds confidence, and gives children a sense of purpose.

Teamwork & Leadership

Basketball teaches collaboration, discipline, and how to lead under pressure.

Courts become vibrant hubs that keep youth engaged and communities thriving.
