Project sustainability

 

Projects that involved physical activity and sport are attractive projects for beneficiaries and we believe that our project has the potential to be developed further in the future.

Projects like this are quite a few, although the role of sport in society are well defined and is very important, so we hope that next year will have more school parteners.
