Laureus Sport for Good supports more than 160 community programs in over 40 countries, helping to address the many social challenges facing children and young people around the world.

Founded in response to Nelson Mandela's challenge, issued at the first Laureus World Sports Awards in Monaco in 2000, that "Sport has the power to change the world", our vision is to use sport as a powerful and cost-effective tool to help children and young people overcome violence, discrimination and disadvantage in their lives.
