Rainwater Basketball Court in Kenya

Mahiga rainwater basketball court in Kenya

A basketball court in Kenya is so socially-responsible, it give local community multiple benefits: A place to play basketball, a school complex, a solar power generator and a rainwater collector to wash and drink.

The design of this indoor-outdoor basketball court is so cool that makes NYC’s The Cage not that attractive anymore.

As reported by GOOD, the Mahiga basketball court itself is neat and well designed. The metal rooftops are installed with solar panels that will gather solar energy to power lights for the entire school complex. The roof’s gutters will collect rainwater at an estimated 90,000 liters per year with 30,000 liters of storage, while a UV purifier will make the rainwater drinkable.
