In over 12 weeks, 220 people with intellectual disabilities (PWIDs) and 140 people without intellectual disabilities have been equipped with vital information on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), financial management, and health promoting behaviour to enable them to make better life choices, using football and volleyball as a tool of engagement and driving the inclusion of PWIDs in the society.
Tomorrow’s event will also feature music performance and dance competitions among others.
