A support mechanism for migrant African athletes
What is SINAFE?
The acronym of the project is “SINAFE”, meaning simplicity in Hausa language, which is one of the most widespread languages of West Africa. In this project, we try to preserve a simple but crucial idea; having equal conditions in sport is a human right.
Who is the target audience?
The direct target group of the SINAFE is the immigrant African athletes in participant countries. Consecutively, the final beneficiaries of the project are the immigrant athletes in various sports and from different countries, as well as various sport organisations, migration institutions and NGOs.
