During the sports training, we managed to promote yearly a number of 10 children who managed to get scholarships to sports high schools or even contracts with different professional sports clubs.
The objective and mission of our club are to provide children with the opportunity and the chance to make a leap into their future so that they emerge from the vicious circles in which they are trapped due to family, community or social status. We want to believe that we are launching these children and the method by which they can become a better version of them.
In the six years of experience, we have only activated in the field of sport, obtaining visible results at the local and regional level. Through the results, we gained the visibility and attention of professional sports clubs that offered to conclude a partnership with us, a partnership that offered the chance of the best sportsmen in our organization to have a professional career.
