Conflicts and crises all over the world are excluding a generation from safe spaces, positive role models and sports. That’s where we, Skateistan, step in, offering skate and art based programs at our skate schools and partner sites all over the planet. But unsafe conditions make it harder and harder for us to operate. We need support to keep providing programs to these children and youth. That’s why we decided to tell the kids’ stories somewhere they’ve never been before, a world where others can be a part of those stories – the gaming world.

Skaters

Together with the online skateboard gaming modding community, we have developed three playable characters based on real Skateistan students and their stories. Plus, playable replicas of real Skateistan’s skate parks. These parks exist inside the skate schools we have built to provide these kids with safe spaces to learn and skate, in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa.

We now make them available for the skateboarding games you love to play. So that you can help us keep bringing the freedom of skateboarding to those who need it most. Simply download, donate, and you’re ready to go.

Don’t just play a game – Play a part.


Skaters

All our characters are based on real Skateistan students.

So, before you skate with them: feel free to discover more about the kids we work with.

Skateistan has built Skate schools around the world that serve thousands of students. These are safe spaces for students to grow, empower and educate themselves. We’ve chosen three of these skateparks to recreate in-game, so that you can skate where our students skate. Discover their stories, donate and download them.
