The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai

The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (formerly and commonly known as the Bombay Municipal Corporation or BMC): Hi5 started its very first center under its flagship program umbrella - ‘Hope Thru Hoops’ in association with BMC.

With the impact program structure and necessary documents in place, BMC permitted Hi5 to run its flagship program in their schools in Mumbai.

Started with 9 centers, 600+ children in 2015 to now have served more than 1200+ children in 12 centers in our multi-year multi-level basketball program.
