More about Hope Sports
Hope Sports, Inc. uses sport as a primary tool to address the specific issues of mental and physical health. Hope Sports drives change within these domains, both of which directly correlate with the UN Goals for Sustainable Development of No Poverty and Good Health and Wellbeing, through a two-pronged approach: 1) Leveraging the platforms of professional sport to cultivate and promote mental health, and 2) Improving physical health among impoverished families in Latin America. In this approach, individual athletes and professional sports teams work side-by-side with poor adults and children to build a Home of Hope for the family. Through the immersive experience, athletes are equipped with the tools and mindsets needed to be mentally healthy, and the recipient families gain immediately improved physical health, emotional wellbeing, and escape from poverty that last a lifetime.
