Vision
FANT CREATES BETTER LIVING CONDITIONS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND USES SPORT AS A PLATFORM

Through sports activities for children, youth, and disabled individuals, we organize healthy communities and educate young people for democratic participation.

The entire world loves sports. In countries across the globe, sports contribute to shaping local communities. It brings people together. It creates a common language that everyone can speak.

Sports are passion, love, competition – but at the same time, it is also a powerful tool to address societal challenges. That is why we, at FANT, believe that sports can change the world. It can develop individuals and societies.

We harness people’s motivation and love for sports to create positive change at various societal levels in developing countries.

Lack of organization, poor leadership, and widespread poverty hinder the opportunities for children, youth, and disabled individuals to engage in sports under proper conditions in many places.

At the same time, biases about gender and disabilities contribute to excluding certain groups. Therefore, we have a special focus on the most vulnerable and marginalized groups.

Because we believe that all people in the world – regardless of gender, age, disability, or background – should have access to organized sports activities and communities.

And we believe that these communities can create both personal and societal change.
