In our country, 1 child in 5 lives in poverty. That is a total of 513,000 children. 513,000 children who have little or no opportunity to play a sport. Pelicano Foundation solves child poverty in Belgium. Since its establishment, Pelicano Foundation has already supported 2,639 children until they find their place in the field. With this sustainable financial approach, they are unique in Belgium and break the vicious circle of poverty.
The financial support is channelled through care partners, mainly schools and OCMWs, which submit an application for the underprivileged children they detect. They ensure that all financial support goes directly to the wellbeing of the Pelicano child and not to the parents or a person in charge of the child.
Pelicano Foundation does not ask for any government support and relies entirely on donations, testamentary income, corporate partnerships or one-shot actions for the benefit of Pelicano Foundation. Your donation goes directly to the child so that we can offer concrete help: a daily warm meal, decent winter clothes, a visit to the dentist, club membership fees, school fees or a school trip.
So register quickly and support poor children in Belgium with your sporting achievement.
