Once again, our work is internationally recognized: We are very grateful to announce that last week Sport Business Awards released this year’s nominees and the ITTF Foundation is shortlisted in two categories.
Covid-19 is a massive threat in the Developing World, but our partners are rising to the challenge to help their communities to stay safe and to keep the spirits up.
Through the Table Building project we chose to address, head on, one of the major issues: access to material. By offering a sustainable solution for equipment, we ensure our partners in the field to have dignity, are autonomous and feel ownership of the project and equipment that they build. What better way to start a project?
Our first year at our new headquarters has been very productive: Not only did we expand staff-wise but boosted our missions on the field and in the office spreading “Solidarity through Table Tennis”.
For many people, going to school may seem quite normal, however for many children around the world getting a secondary education is a privilege: Our Dream Building project HONECRIC enables participants to hope and strive for more.
The ITTF Foundation is relocating funding to alleviate the severe impacts of Covid-19 on their partners in the field. Dream Building Projects – like all projects involving physical contact – have come to a standstill. The communities they are working in are, however, very much ‘alive and kicking’.
In light of Covid-19, our friends and table tennis lovers from Kenya changed their plans for World Table Tennis Day, but achieved the second goal of their event: Waste Management. They cleaned the environment of Kibera Slums (Nairobi) and managed to sensitise the youth on how to properly wash hands to tackle this crisis.
Facing the pandemic of COVID-19, times are difficult for all of us. Therefore, we would like to spread some good news from our field projects. Today: TALENT 4 DEVELOPMENT - The story of Joseph Owina.
In the TT Dream Building Fund call 2020, a total of 29 applicants from 20 countries put themselves forward. Subsequently, the top 5 projects has been selected. We Would like to send public congratulations and recognition to the 2020 TT Dream Building Fund recipients!
