Be The Next

For many youths in Limbe, sports participation after school or on weekends represents an opportunity to chase a dream to be the next Samuel Eto’O, Françoise Mbango or Francis Ngannou. While this is mostly true for boys, the opposite can be said about girls, who continue to live relegated lives in the shadows of their male counterparts, unable to consistently enjoy leisure sport which can improve their health, physical fitness and give them opportunities to realize their full human rights.

Apart from Football and Track Athletics, the project also offers the girls engagement in Photography, Journalism, Cheer Group performances and Fan Club activities, which all provide opportunities for girls to receive a wide range of aptitude enhancement on mostly equal terms as their male counterparts, setting them on a path to grow into adults who can contribute to political, economic, social and cultural development, and benefit from it.

Good Food, Good Performance (GFGP)

The vast majority of families our athletes come from are low-income earners who can’t afford healthy eating for their households and the athlete of the family, or who can’t afford it on a consistent basis. Also, apart from generating poor performances, eating unhealthy for athletes can eventually trigger afflictions like stress, type-2 diabetes, and increase the risk of heart disease, etc. The Good Food, Good Performance (GFGP) initiative is a small-scale animal and plant farming venture that specializes in producing, processing and delivering fresh food for both ADISA’s athletes and for commercial purposes as well.

In the world of competitive sports, healthier eating is paramount. In Cameroon, homegrown food is the cheapest way to enable healthier eating which is always crucial for athletes as it directly impacts performance and overall health, by providing the right nutrients at the right levels to meet the appropriate energy requirements.
