Family Registration Support Grant
June 2024-May 2025, Special Olympics Bangladesh will focus on connecting with new athletes. Registration of new athletes is dependent on establishing contact with family members to conduct activities and retain athletes.
Since 1994, Special Olympics Bangladesh has been working with athletes and their families, but those data were not stored in any online database. And due to lack of adequate statistics, it is becoming difficult to plan for the future. In this case, between 2024 and 2025, the International Special Olympics has guided to create a strong database and family network.Initially, the information of 3,200 family members will be stored in the database, including raising awareness of family members/guardians of 560 intellectually disabled athletes through the grant
. A network of family members/parents of athletes with intellectual disabilities should be created so that they can be made aware of the Special Olympics activities. They should be connected through the online network of Special Olympics to make all intellectually disabled development partners.
