This project by Anopa will empower 800 deaf children through the teaching and learning of swimming in Ghana.
The project will provide education for deaf children through swimming. The kids will learn to play in water, learn the basics of swimming, and survival in water among others. There will be support to form swimming clubs in their institutions where the kids will be encouraged to participate in local and national competitions. The sport tutors of these kids will be trained in swimming to assist in the coaching and the overall development of these children to foster their individual development.
