Project overview
In many Rif villages, there are no safe or structured spaces for young people to engage in sports and recreation. This lack of facilities limits opportunities for physical fitness, teamwork, and positive social interaction, while also leaving youth vulnerable to boredom, isolation, or negative influences. The Rif Development Foundation will build and upgrade sports fields, courts, and community recreation centers, while organizing youth sports leagues and training local coaches. Sports will be used as a tool for physical health, confidence building, and community unity.
