The General Authority for Youth and Sports issued a decision to establish the "Tadamon" Sports Club for People with Disabilities in Tripoli, which will also serve as a rehab facility for the war-wounded, says the media head of the club's administrative committee, Adel Aoun.
According to the text of the resolution seen by The Libya Observer, the project will include sporting, cultural, and social activities and will operate under the General Authority of the Social Solidarity Fund.
The General Authority for the Social Solidarity Fund formed a founding committee, with a president, deputy, and five members, to establish the club until the general assembly and the board of directors is named.
The media director of the club's administrative committee, Adel Aoun, said in statements to The Libya Observer that the club is the first of its kind in Libya.
"The club includes a closed hall to host various sports, with an area of 1,200 square meters," Aoun added.
The club will also provide a space for those who sustained injuries in wars by providing sport activities as well as social and cultural services to help them overcome their difficulties so that they can lead a life of dignity.
A ceremony will be held to inaugurate the club on the 20th of this month, at the Autism Center, Tajoura, near the club’s new HQ.
As part of the event, the organizers will hold a workshop on the comprehensive design of the urban environment, presented by one of the pioneers from the category of persons with disabilities, Engineer Ahmed Al-Reda, who is a representative of the European ENAT Foundation.
