Pass the Ball not the Virus - Fighting COVID-19
Donation protected
First a little into who we are:
The Dennis Sports Foundation is an organization established in Central Ghana in the coastal city of Cape Coast. We are committed to impact, improve and empower all youths living in impoverished communities in Central Ghana. Clement Dennis and the international team has made this mission their life’s purpose and passion, to dedicate their efforts to break the cycle of Ghanaian youth falling into criminal street life activity through sports.
The Dennis Sports Foundation facilitates projects focused on education, mentorship and sports-based intervention to develop a positive self-image and self-actualization. Sports has been the core of this organization to change the direction of their community and has provided a safe space to mature and enable them to be self-sufficient and change the course of their lives: to that of a positive and purposeful direction.
Pass the ball, not the Virus - COVID-19 Community Response
In response to the recent pandemic of COVID-19, the shortage of personal protective wear, hand sanitizer and financial burden due to social distancing; we want to educate and create homemade face mask and hand sanitizer to help combat the spread of COVID- 19 in our community. We will be using local Ghana fabrics and other useful materials to make 1500 masks. We will also be purchasing items to make 1500 hand sanitizers for the community.
We know that a small gesture can make a great difference in the lives of others. Please support our efforts in stopping the spread and saving lives.
