gymbox

gsp 2023 annual report

Gymbox™ offers a safe space for PNG youth to access health, fitness and education services by reimagining shipping containers. Each Gymbox carries violence prevention and leadership training through the 10 Million Strong™ program, steering PNG youth towards a healthier, equitable future. Our first GymBox Skools® opened at Badihagwa Technical Secondary School in June 2026.
