The "Empowering Grassroots Sport for Inclusion and Development" (EGSID) project is an inspiring initiative that uses the power of sports to drive social change, aiming to uplift marginalized communities through increased access to sports. Recognizing that sport is more than just physical activity, EGSID views it as a powerful tool to foster social inclusion, promote health, and enhance overall well-being. This project is particularly focused on creating a sense of belonging for underserved groups by bridging social divides and cultivating a cohesive community spirit.
