Two Solomon Islands women basketball representatives are making strides off the court after being selected to participate in the Women in Leadership Basketball (WiLead) program.
According to the Solomon Islands Basketball Federation, Loremarose Tahani and Winnie Laora are representing the country through the leadership initiative while continuing their involvement in community basketball development programs.
The federation described the pair as “outstanding leaders” who have been actively contributing through the Basketball 4 Good initiative, using basketball-based social messaging to create positive change in schools and communities.
Both women are current national basketball representatives with growing leadership roles within the local basketball scene.
Tahani currently serves as a bench official, volunteer with the Basketball 4 Good program and is also part of the federation’s emerging referees pathway.
Laora meanwhile works as a Basketball 4 Good coach and recently completed the WABC Level 1 Coaching Course.
The federation said their participation in the WiLead program is expected to inspire and encourage more women and girls to step confidently into basketball leadership roles.
“Keep leading, keep inspiring, and keep pushing boundaries,” the federation stated in its social media post.
The Basketball 4 Good initiative has become one of the federation’s key community outreach programs, promoting social awareness and positive development through basketball activities in schools and communities across Solomon Islands.
