PROJECT:
Kee-PING Hope | أمل
The project name is Kee-PING Hope | أمل . Hope for all Lebanese children that are suffering from the economic and political situation in Lebanon. The goal is to build sustainable table tennis tables, bats and nets with unconventional designs to be used in orphanages. The youth will participate in weekly table tennis trainings with tournaments between different orphanages and additional workshop sessions about life skills and well-being also being offered.
The materials can be purchased from the project's social media platform and the revenue will be reimplemented into the project. The aim is to create table tennis tables from waste materials and place them in environments where children can use and benefit from their positive social and mental outcomes.
