Our Story
In the heart of France, with operations extending into the vibrant communities of Mali, "Balle Ton" was born from a simple yet profound belief: every child deserves the chance to achieve their full potential. Founded by Theodore Fomba, a visionary driven by his passion for tennis and commitment to education, "Balle Ton" is a testament to the power of sports and learning to transform lives.
​
Theodore, alongside a dedicated team including his son and former professional tennis player Eric Fomba, envisioned an organization that would not just teach children how to play tennis but also imbue them with the skills and knowledge necessary for success beyond the court. From this vision, "Balle Ton" has grown into a beacon of hope, offering a unique blend of athletic training and educational support to the youth of Mali.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
Our Mission
At "Balle Ton," our mission is to empower the youth of Mali through a unique blend of tennis and education. We believe in nurturing the whole child, fostering a love for learning, a passion for sports, and the development of essential life skills. Our programs are designed to provide children with the opportunities, resources, and support they need to excel both academically and athletically, preparing them for a future filled with possibilities.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every child, regardless of their background, has access to the transformative power of education and sports. A world where children in Mali can dream big and achieve even bigger, where the lessons learned on the tennis court and in the classroom lay the foundation for a lifetime of success and fulfillment.
