TENNIS WELCOME INITIATIVE
SPONSOR THE SCHOLARSHIPS

“every child has the right to play sports”
1989 UN Convention
2009 Lisbon Treaty

Contents

Developing scholarships in sport sector connected to educational programs to benefit children coming from disadvantages families.

Mission

• Offer the challenge of transforming the lives of children through the power of inclusive free tennis activities in connection with educational programs;
• Strengthen the cooperation and mutual support in the fields of sport & education with sport and cultural local institutions.

Project updating

The initiative mainly concerns the supply of clothing and technical material (rackets, balls and nets for mini tennis). In light of the relevant international shipping costs for materials (including custom fees), we are checking the solution of purchasing what is needed locally. Despite the technical problems, we confirm that the initiative achieves its goals, namely social inclusion: so we are on the right way. For us, the involvement of common people together with top players and sports managers is essential to ensure adequate fundraising: we thank all those who are helping us.

A good example

The initiative is concretely in progress in Kakamega County - Kenya. The activity benefits kids from the Green Education Children Centre. The children have free access to tennis assisted by one instructor. In addition to the supply of tennis equipment, we contributed to the financing for the construction of one tennis court.

Beneficiaries

Priority is given to children coming from disadvantaged families with interest and attitude in sport and good performances achieved at school.

Minimum budget

The value of each sport scholarship is 120,00 €/year.
