D.T.S. is an NGO that cultivates sports activities for young people worldwide.
It was established in 2016, based on the belief that sport is a universal language that can be used to overcome many challenges faced by young people around the world, and drive personal and social development on a global scale.
We believe that any kind of sport can facilitate genuine change in athletes' attitudes towards themselves, their friends, their countries, and other members of their generation.
Based on this vision, D.T.S. leverages the magic of sports, particularly ball games, to give hope to young people and start developing their self-confidence from childhood.
We believe that in order to make changes on a global scale and foster a new generation of athletes with equal opportunities to demonstrate their skills, there is a need for an extensive support network all over the world.
Our international operations are run and supported by a professional management team comprising professional trainers, pedagogical teams, and people with diverse expertise who work with our employees to develop and offer personal, unique programs tailored to the specific characteristics and needs of the community.
D.T.S. strives to provide young people around the world with the tools they need to develop their unique personal and social skills.
D.T.S. operates in many countries in Africa and in the Middle East. It strives to instill values such as diligence, persistence, patience, team work, and delaying gratification in talented youth, through all types of sports.
These values can be naturally acquired on the sports field, and help produce a future generation of leaders around the world who will become an inspiration in all walks of life, including sports, science, politics, art, and economics.
The vast majority of our projects are run in Africa and the Middle East. They involve financial support, practical tools, and encouraging self-realization of people with disabilities, young people, and athletes with minimal resources.

At D.T.S., we believe that in order to win the game, you need a strong group that can push forward and use all its strength, ties, experience, and commitment to realize our vision.
That’s why we work day and night to build a strong basis for our universal efforts. We take every opportunity to pursue extensive collaboration with a long list of partners who contribute to our core activities.

Born in the old streets of Aleppo-Syria, raised near the Alps in Europe, first love in Africa, and a career throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Strong believer in equal chances for all, in sport as a tool rather than a goal, and in developing oneself and aspiring for more.
I've camped with the bushmen in the Kalahari, glided in the heights of the Alps, and dove in the depths of the reefs, yet what fascinates me most is human endurance and adaptability.
