The Club Med Foundation created the Golf Sports School in 2019, in partnership with the non-profit organisation ‘Madiba Académie’, known for its golf expertise and positive influence on the young people of the Ziguinchor region in Casamance. Thirty children, 50% girls, come to practice at the Cap Skirring golf course twice a week. They are trained by the golf instructors from Madiba Académie Golf. The funds raised will be used to support the children and purchase new sporting equipment.
