MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, April 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Africa Baseball Project (ABP), a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding baseball opportunities for youth across Africa, is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Global Air Entertainment (GAE), a leading Black-owned drone technology company specializing in Science, Technology, and Engineering. — Rodney Colley, Global Air Entertainment president
This collaboration marks a significant step towards realizing the ABP’s vision of establishing the Africa Continental Baseball League, comprising eight cities across seven nations, while simultaneously leveraging GAE’s innovative technology to positively impact communities.
GAE, renowned for its commitment to "monetizing the sky" and empowering businesses through cutting-edge drone solutions, is expanding its investment in Africa. President Rodney Colley expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "As we broaden our presence in Africa, the Africa Baseball Project emerges as the ideal collaborator.

Colley added, "It is the right time for these organizations to work closely together. Furthermore, to be able to announce this strategic partnership while Jackie Robinson is being celenbrated as the first African-American player in MLB, makes it even more exciting for both groups, and the thousands of African youth we can start impacting together.”

Its initiatives include conducting impactful clinics in Tanzania and Nigeria, providing crucial support for the construction of an outfield fence in Burkina Faso, contributing to the development of a two-field complex by IfWeBuildIt.org in Nairobi, Kenya, and funding the installation of a backstop for Zambia's inaugural baseball field.

* MLB Hall of Fame inductee Andre Dawson
* World Series champion and MLB Gold Glove winner Charles Johnson
