In the rural communities of Mampatim and Medina Chérif, in the south of Senegal, with over 40,000 inhabitants, a multifunctional sports ground for football, handball and volleyball will be built and equipped due to the almost complete lack of adequate sports infrastructure.
Training modules will familiarise sports players with international rules and sports methodology.
Sensitisation measures will present sport as a means of ensuring social cohesion and peaceful coexistence between the two ethnic groups living there, the Peul (Fulbe) and the Mandingue (Mandinka).
