Building a multisport centre for seniors and children at Mitsoudje
Project supported by the Association of People from Mitsoudjé Living Overseas
Context
In the Comoros, a growing number of people have been suffering from CVAs and diabetes since 2015, reveals a survey carried out by NGO « Sante Diabète ». Indeed, the rate of prevalence of Comorian diabetes is 4.8%. Mitsoudjé’s health centre, covering Hambou’s two communes, recorded a 125% increase of CVAs among people over 35, between 2018 and 2019. The number of evacuations for cardiovascular disorders was twice as many over the same period, from 50 in 2017 to 96 in 2019. This situation is partly due to a sedentary way of life caused by a lack of sports facilities suitable for the area.
The association therefore undertakes to build a centre for practising sports to improve the target population’s general health. In line with the Government and its 2030 Emergent Comoros Plan, the project shall help make big strides towards achieving SDG 3 on health and well-being, using sport.
