Regional Hub West Africa
Right to Dream (RtD) and Laureus Sport for Good (LSFG) Regional Hub (West Africa)
West Africa, a region where
- 302.9 million people live
- 50% of this population are women
- 12 of the 16 countries have a Human Development Index (HDI) of below 0.5
- 65 million adults are illiterate*
Sport used for Development has the power to change West Africa and potentially represents the biggest Return on Investment in the region.
Within West Africa, the passion for sport is unsurpassed and the need for change within the region is significant. We have established the Right to Dream and Laureus Sport for Good Regional Hub to meet the training and development needs of the many Sport for Development projects operating throughout West Africa.
