Khalil Abdi
Founder
Khalil founded BHYC in 2012, after he noticed a lot of young people hanging around on the street with nothing to do. This can make young people a target for gangs, and a lack of exercise can lead to various health conditions, such as obesity and depression. Since then, BHYC has grown into a highly successful organisation and continues to go from strength to strength.
