Distribution of ROTA Donated Sports Items all Over Lebanon
Thanks to a generous donation from Reached out to Asia (ROTA), ANERA successfully distributed over 1,400 sets of sports gear and uniforms to Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese sports teams in different regions and camps across the country.
More than 2000 children are beneficiaries of the new sports gear, allowing them to create a sense of community and bonding among their teammates. “A sports jersey may not mean much to others,” explains Coach Khalil Mansour, the head of the Wahdeh Sports Club, ANERA’s local partner in Nahr el Bared Camp, “but for these children, who come from fragmented communities and are constantly faced with challenges, it helps them create a sense of belonging and community.”
Many young boys and girls living in refugee camps and tented settlements seek out sports opportunities as a temporary safe-haven from their challenging daily lives. As such, ANERA provides its local partners with more than just the resources to create sports teams. Rather, its assistance provides youth with the tools to create collaborative healthy and professional sports communities.
