 About CHAD
After several years of war and dictatorship democracy is gradually taking root. Unfortunately. Those who have suffered the most from these conflicts are the youth. Today, they are completely lacking in the area of sports. With the aid of Sponsors, we want to be able to organise sports camps in a bid to give them the chance to develop their talents. To achieve this, we need convenient material as well as favourable conditions.
