THE National Paralympic Committee (NPC) needs about Rwf1.75m to take part in next week’s World Sitball championship in Kampala, Uganda.

The body wants to field three teams in the 3rd edition which throws off on November 9.

"The amount will among others cater for the teams’ transportation to and fro Kampala,” NPC’s vice president in charge of development Elie Manirarora said.

Intwari and HVP Gatagara will compete in the men’s category while Kigali Stars will fly Rwanda’s flag in the women fray.

The teams are currently training at two venues; NPC gymnasium and National University of Rwanda.

In Kampala, Rwanda will contend with Germany, Switzerland, Burundi, Kenya, DRC and the hosts Uganda.
