The Daren Ganga Foundation (DGF) was founded in 2007 and launched in 2009, to create opportunities for talented young people to grow, develop their skills and maximize their potential. It is the brainchild of Daren Ganga, former West Indies and Trinidad and Tobago cricketer, who was moved to create this eponymous organisation in order to create a platform for motivating and coaching youngsters to pursue their dreams. The purpose of the DGF is to provide developmental opportunities for young people, supporting the realization of their full potential. The DGF executes this mission through its ongoing scholarship programmes, mentorship series, sports camps and financial assistance. The DGF is unique in both its intent and execution, in that its mission and vision are achieved through two strategic channels: the scholarship programme and the annual sports camps. Unlike other Foundations which raise funds which are then distributed to various causes, the DGF plans, coordinates and delivers these programmes itself, through its core and affiliate staff. The Foundation’s work is meticulously managed and streamlined, to ensure that all outreach activities positively on the lives of children, their families and by extension their communities. This, in essence, is the vision of the DGF: to motivate and inspire young people to reach for the stars, to become responsible citizens and to become agents of change in their communities, even from a very young age.
