Opening the Commewijne Spirit!

Inspired by community, driven by spirit. We’re celebrating the opening of our new clubhouse and tennis court in Commewijne, Suriname. A space created to spark inspiration, creativity and opportunity.

Thanks to everyone’s contribution over the past three years during Keti Koti, and with the support of the On Right To Run program, we’re proud to present together with Filling Pieces and Community Tennis Suriname: The Commewijne Spirit.

A group of people, including children and adults, stand on a tennis court holding rackets, smiling, and wearing KLABU jerseys.

As Suriname marks 50 years of independence, this moment feels especially meaningful: a celebration of culture, resilience and the power of coming together to build brighter futures.

Built with the community and for the community, the new clubhouse and tennis court will give more than 6,000 young people a place to play, connect and flourish over the next five years.
