- Raise community awareness
- Help children feel valued, protected and supported, whatever their background
Project content
- Creation of inclusive sports clubs in 12 rural schools

- Organisation of awareness-raising workshops for families
- Production of radio programmes in collaboration with local radio stations to promote children’s rights and change people’s attitudes to disability and gender
