Mission

Phambili Sport Impact Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading joy and inspiration through sport and recreation. The Foundation believes that sport has the unique ability to transcend boundaries, unite communities, and inspire individuals to reach their full potential. At the core of our mission is the belief that every individual, regardless of background or circumstance, deserves access to the power of sport and physical activity. Through our giving priorities, we aim to harness the universal language of sport to create moments of joy in the lives of people around the world.

The Foundation's giving priorities encompass a wide range of support:

​

  1. Community Empowerment: We help empower communities to leverage the unique attributes of sports to create positive social, economic, and health outcomes. We aim to support initiatives that teach valuable life skills and educational initiatives that promote academic achievement and personal development. We also support communities in the development of sustainable play spaces and infrastructures that allow for meaningful change in under-resourced neighborhoods.

  2. Global Advocacy: We advocate for the role of sport in driving positive social change on a global scale, supporting other organizations and stakeholders to advance policies and initiatives that prioritize sports as a means of achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

  3. Health and Wellness: We support initiatives that use sport as a tool for promoting physical and mental well-being, particularly in underserved communities where access to healthcare services may be limited. By aiding sports clinics, fitness programs, and health education campaigns, we aim to empower individuals to take control of their health and lead active, fulfilling lives.

  4. Social Inclusion: We promote diversity and inclusion within the sports community by supporting events and initiatives that celebrate cultural diversity, gender equality, and accessibility. Through sport, we strive to break down barriers and foster understanding and acceptance among people from different backgrounds.

  5. Sustainability and Climate Action: We advocate for sustainability and climate action by supporting organizations that are promoting positive environmental behaviors and policies that address climate change. By using the influence and visibility of sport, we are driving positive change towards a more environmentally conscious future.

  6. Youth Development: We support underserved youth with access to organized sports programs, coaching, and mentorship opportunities. By helping support young people in their sports pursuits, we aim to instill valuable life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and resilience, while also promoting healthy lifestyles and academic achievement.

​

Through these efforts, the Phambili Sport Impact Foundation strives to create a brighter, more inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed, both on and off the field.
