STARCARES Completes Basketball Court Redevelopment in the Philippines
STARCARES, the community initiative of STARTRADER, has completed the redevelopment of a basketball court at Communal Elementary School in Buhangin, Davao City. The facility now serves approximately 20,000 people daily and is used for educational events as well as community gatherings. The project was designed to provide long-term value beyond construction by offering students and the local population a safe space for learning, sports, and social activities. Principal Nelson Sepe Lubguban Jr. highlighted how the court has transformed from an uneven surface into a central hub of activity in Buhangin. Peter Karsten, CEO of STARTRADER, emphasized that such infrastructure investments help young people feel seen and supported as they grow together. This project is part of STARCARES' broader efforts to revitalize community spaces across Asia and Africa.
