What We Do

The Atlas Foundation harnesses the values and community of rugby to support the world's most disadvantaged children

All children should feel safe, loved, and have the opportunity to thrive as they grow up. But millions of children across the world don't.

We develop partnerships with people and organisations who have a positive impact on the daily lives of young people growing up in some of the world's poorest communities.

At Atlas we believe that local communities are best at understanding the challenges facing their children and how to overcome them. We work directly with community organisations, giving them the long-term support and encouragement they need to deliver lasting change. Through these trusted partners, Atlas provides safety, education, food, physical activities, guidance, and community to thousands of children across five continents - giving them the skills, tools, and confidence to thrive.
