  1. Atlas Global

France

Atlas France a été créé pour aider les enfants de toute la francophonie grâce au rugby. Atlas et des Champions Français et Internationaux de rugby en France sont en train de mettre en place un solide programme d'éducation et d'assistance sociale pour certains des enfants les plus pauvres de la planète.

Atlas France was established to help children throughout the French speaking world through the power of rugby. Alongside French and International Rugby Champions in France, Atlas is building a strong programme of education and welfare support for some of the poorest children on earth.

Programmes caritatifs - France

Atlas France est en train de créer un programme pilote "Toutes les écoles" avec des clubs et des écoles à Paris, Lyon et Toulon. Son ambition de toucher les enfants les plus défavorisés, en utilisant le rugby pour réduire les comportements antisociaux, construire la paix et l'unité à travers les divisions raciales et religieuses, améliorer la résilience personnelle et le respect des autres.

Atlas France is creating a pilot "All Schools" programme with clubs and schools in Paris, Lyon and Toulon. Its ambition to reach the most disadvantaged kids, using rugby to reduce anti-social behaviour, build peace and unity across racial and religious divides, improve personal resilience and respect for others. 

Programmes de bienfaisance - À l'étranger

Atlas France soutient des programmes éducatifs à travers le monde francophone, notamment des écoles et des centres de formation au Maroc, à Madagascar, en Côte d'Ivoire et au Cambodge. À mesure que les fonds augmenteront, nous créerons de nouveaux programmes pour aider les enfants les plus pauvres du monde.

Le succès du rugby pour sortir les enfants de la pauvreté est bien documenté en Afrique et en Asie, où les enfants améliorent considérablement leur éducation, deviennent de jeunes entraîneurs et sont des personnes solides et dignes de confiance. Cela crée de nouveaux emplois dans les secteurs de la santé, du conditionnement physique et de la sécurité, de la police et d'autres services.

Atlas France supports education programmes across the French speaking world including schools and training centres in Morocco, Madagascar, the Ivory Coast and Cambodia. As funds increase, we will create new programmes to help the poorest children on earth.

The success of rugby at lifting children out of poverty is well documented in Africa and Asia where kids are substantially improving their education, becoming young coaches, and strong, trusted individuals. This is leading to new employment in the health, fitness and security industries, the police and other services.

    Liv Vs White Collar Boxing

    I am one of Ed's older sisters and his wonderful friends and family continue to try new ways of raising money for the Atlas Foundation and Tanzania Rugby Development Program. My next challenge is a White Collar Boxing Match on the 24th March, something I think Ed would find absolutely hilarious and be so proud of me for. I miss him and can't wait to do this for him and the amazing work the money raised will do for TRD.
