Sports for Solar –A Climate & Sports Initiative

We are bringing light to families who have been living without electricity for too long.

Our Global Sports for Solar Campaign uses the World's Most Popular Sports to raise awareness and funds to provide solar powered lights to communities in the least developed areas of our planet. The population we serve faces complex barriers to accessing ladders of opportunity. Those same barriers are what keep them off teams, out of leagues, and unable to access programs that could support them to reach their full potential. Addressing one barrier alone is a band aid. Barriers stack up on one another and feel insurmountable.

There isn’t a better way to inspire children and create positive role models than to get them engaged in a sport. GGI’s partnership with sporting brands such as Babolat, Nike and many others allows us to bring sports to underserved children in the US, Africa, Asia and Mexico. At the end of the tournament, children who participate in the event go home with portable solar lights bringing light to their homes for the first time
