Our Mission
The Atlas Foundation uses rugby to engage and inspire children, instilling the core values of rugby in a safe, fun environment. Working alongside the community, we identify the specific barriers children face and partner with a range of local organisations to deliver additional tailored support across education, health, and inclusion.
Our Vision
Rugby is a unique sport, played and followed by a tight-knit global family. Values of integrity, teamwork, enjoyment and commitment help create not just better players, but better people. Its bonds of friendship transverse the world, touching people regardless of race, religion, or gender.
Our Impact
Atlas is committed to offering long-term, practical support for children growing-up in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. We have worked across 21 countries helping 95% of young people graduate their year at school, with 88% of partners providing nutritious food and clean water.
