Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On February 3, 2023 in Monrovia, a handover ceremony was held for the donation of an open-air wheelchair basketball court to the Liberia National Wheelchair Basketball Federation. The basketball court was the first open-air wheelchair basketball court in the history of the Country. The construction of the court was said to have ended the controversy of people with disabilities being prevented from using other facilities. The project is estimated to have cost around USD 1,000.
