Next Project: Solwezi, Zambia
With the support of our dedicated volunteers and international partners, we’re returning to Zambia to build something truly special. During the construction of our previous skatepark in Mongu, Zambia a small group of teenagers from Solwezi reached out to the Wonders crew, asking for skate equipment. In response, the CEO of Wonders U.S.A. personally crossed the country to deliver gear to these young skaters.
What happened next was extraordinary—without any formal guidance, the local skateboarding community created a loaner program so everyone in Solwezi could access the equipment. Since then, skateboarding has exploded in popularity, and the local government has donated land for the construction of a community skatepark.
This project show cases the power and impact of youth-led change.

Solwezi, Zambia Project Proposal
What We Do:
Wonders Around the World (WAW) is an international nonprofit that began in Denmark and has since grown to serve communities across the globe. In response to increasing demand for our work, Wonders is now proudly registered in multiple countries — including in the United States as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
This expansion strengthens our ability to raise funds, collaborate across borders, and better support the planet. The creation of this website helps ensure compliance with U.S. rules and regulations for Non-profit status, while connecting supporters to our global mission.

Through our projects, we aim to provide safe, inclusive spaces for youth to play, grow, and connect. Each skatepark we build is more than just concrete — it’s a foundation for community, creativity, and empowerment. Forgotten spaces become thriving hubs of energy and hope.
Join us in building a better world, one skatepark at a time.

Get Involved
In developing countries, safe spaces for youth are rare. With your help, we transform empty lots into thriving hubs for the community where kids find joy, confidence, and community through skateboarding. With your support, we can keep saying yes to more parks and more kids in communities that need them most. Let’s build the future—together.
