DUNK stands for Developing Unity, Nurturing Knowledge is a youth-led, community-based, Non-Governmental Organization

Their mission is to create safe spaces for women and children ages 8-19 living in the most deprived communities of Accra. Through sports (basketball), after-school support, life-skills & vocational training through Playing, Learning & Growth as well as empowering them to become agents of change in their own communities.

BAJ is a proud partner to this organization and currently supporting their activities.

We at BAJ Freight and Logistics Limited, take our Cooperate Social Responsibility very seriously in every way possible. This is because we believe that everyone and thing around us matters and makes us the better or best institution.

In this belief, BAJ Freight and Logistics Limited sponsored the Greater Accra Hockey Association Gala for three years starting from 2013 to 2015. In the year 2017, we have dived in to the tennis sport, remaining the sole sponsor of the Baj Freight Junior Tennis League for a full year and perhaps extend it, maybe in the future.

Baj Freight Junior Tennis League

Sakumono Tennis Club will host the maiden edition of the junior tennis league which took off with over 50 juvenile tennis stars to competitor for various categories of prizes at stake.

The league, dubbed “Baj Freight Junior Tennis League” is organized by leadership of the Sakumono Tennis Club in collaboration with other clubs in the Tema and Ashaimanand and solely sponsored by the Baj Freight and Logistics Ltd based in Tema.

The participants, are selected based on their performances at their various clubs and will be divided into 5 categories – Under-8, U-10, U-12, U-14 and U-16 to play in a round robin after which players who accumulate more points will be declared winners.

According to the Chairman of the Organising Committee, Mr Kojo Stephens, the remaining league matches, after ……. will be played once in a month on every second Saturday till the end of the year.

The  main objective of the league is to promote education and health through sports as well as to unearth talents in children around the Sakumono, Tema and Ashaiman areas.

“The Youth Tennis League intends to revive the juvenile tennis activities that once produced champions like Henry Adjei Darko, Michael Nortey, salifu Mohammed and others who marketed Ghana beyond the shores of this country” he said.

Winners from the various categories will have their school fees catered for and will receive sponsorship to participate in other tennis tournaments while all participants will take home medals and tennis items.

BAJ Freight and Logistics sponsored the Greater Accra Hockey Association Gala that traditionally ushers in the main Hockey League in the Greater Accra Region for three years from 2013 to 2015.

Hockey teams in the Greater Accra Hockey League such as Golden Sticks, Exchequers, CEPS, including Extinguishers of Ghana Fire Service and Reformers of Ghana Prisons Service, were
grouped in three categories and competed for the magnificent trophy at the two-day eventful BAJ Freight Hockey Gala at the National Hockey Stadium prior to the commencement of the main league.

Hockey clubs for the first time received prize monies just as outstanding players at an awards gala night which followed the coronation at the maiden championship in 2013, chaired and graced by the presence of the flamboyant Joe Biney, Chief Executive Officer of BAJ Freight and Logistics.

BAJ Freight took a corporate decision to revive the hockey gala after a three years’ absence to the tune of GH¢50,000, the biggest ever sponsorship package for the gala.

As a mark of goodwill and with the background of assisting less privileged public institutions and societies, BAJ Freight extended that philanthropic gesture to revive lesser-known sports in Ghana, using hockey as a “starting line” in its quest to plough back some of its earnings for the benefit of the communities.

During the three-year sponsorship, BAJ Freight displayed ample loyalty and commitment to its course of supporting the Greater Accra Hockey Association in their bid to find a sponsor that would revive the Hockey Gala after three years break. This was done excellently, gracing the occasions with our corporate presence and the full support of our staff who attended the gala in their numbers.

With our slogan FAST, SAFE, SIMPLE …….The Baj Way, the company was able to propel the Greater Accra Hockey Association into the FAST track of recognition in the SAFEST and most SIMPLE way of ushering in the main Hockey League from 2013 to 2015.

Project Ghana is a community project by Schools in Liverpool, UK to support schools in Ghana with educational facilities. The project is chaired by Mr. Paul Dickinson, head teacher of Archbishop Beck Catholic Sports College, Liverpool.

Baj Freight has partnered with Mother of Many (MOM) Foundation to distribute items donated by the schools in the UK across the various regions in Ghana.
