Digicel Tonga supports Special Olympics Tonga Association football programme

Digicel Tonga is supporting the Special Olympics Tonga Association in running a program for children with disabilities at the Queen Salote Memorial Hall.

The program called 'Football for Hope' is hosted once every month with children from the 'Ofa Tui Amanaki Centre & the children from the Inclusive Education from Ngele'ia.

Football for Hope is an initiative designed to focus on empowering and socially integrating people with intellectual disability through skills acquisition and fun competition.

Special Olympics intends to use football (soccer) as an inclusive tool to bring people together to tackle problems faced by people with intellectual disability in a fun and interactive environment. 

Digicel is also the main sponsor for 4 athletes representing Tonga on the Anniversary Competition in Suva, Fiji at the end of the month.
