Iraqi Foundation for Sport + Peace

Aim: To save adolescents and children from extremism and other social ills through sports programs.

The Darakshakran + Hassan Sham Run + Ski Clubs takes girls and boys out of the refugee camps where they spend most of their days for running and skiing excursions. Supported by the Erbil Marathon charity and Visit Iraqi Kurdistan, these clubs aim to help girls and boys improve their fitness, learn dedication and discipline and provide them with alternatives to jihadist groups or other destructive forces. 

The Iraqi/Kurd Tennis Team supports youth who want to advance in tennis and travel abroad to an academy, potentially play at U.S. universities or join the international tour through money and the supply of equipment, such as tennis balls, modern tennis racquets, shoes and clothing. The Iraqi/Kurd team also intends to foster the rebirth of racquet sports in Iraq by rebuilding courts, orgnaising pro-level competitions and providing youth with training for jobs in the industry.
