SPAT stands for Sport and Physical Activity Trainer and is aimed at training people with a disability as a sports instructor in developing countries. The project has been active in Ethiopia since 2009, where it has had a huge impact on the lives of a whole generation of children with a disability. In 2019 the project was also introduced in Kenya, where it is specifically aimed at Deaf people.
