Beneficiaries
Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world and is also home to one of the largest youth populations in the world where 22 million people (60% of the population) are under 25 of which around 2 million (almost 8%) have some form of a disability. Access to opportunities for young people with a disability to develop and achieve their potential in life are very limited.
The project will train coaches, teachers and leaders and provide specialist equipment for 4 organisations in Arusha, Tanzania to deliver fun and inclusive sports & games session for disabled youths. This will strengthen the resilience of these youths so they are better able to fulfill their potential in life.
