GOALS Haiti Wins Best Nonprofit Organization from Peace and Sport
Our Executive Director Kathy McAllister attended the Peace and Sport International Forum held in Monaco December 11th-13th. It was an inspiring conference that culminated in the Peace and Sport awards ceremony at the beautiful Monaco Opera House.
GOALS Haiti was thrilled to receive the award for Best Nonprofit Organization using sport for peace and development. Such an honor to see our programs highlighted on the world stage and accept the award in front of a distinguished crowd consisting of royalty, olympic athletes, world champions and like minded individuals who believe in the power of sport to create positive change.
In the acceptance speech Kathy thanked Peace and Sport and said how much this award means in recognition of our work and the encouragement we have received from the sport for development community.
Peace and Sport is an international, neutral and independent organization based in Monaco, which promotes peace using the power of sport. Founded in 2007 by Modern Pentathlon Olympic Medallist and World Champion Joël Bouzou, Peace and Sport enjoys the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
We share a similar vision - TO BUILD PEACEFUL COMMUNITIES THROUGH THE POWER OF SPORT, AND THEREBY CREATE A SAFER, MORE EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE WORLD.
Together we are creating healthier more stable communities and we appreciate the opportunity to bring our work in rural Haiti to the forefront of sport for sustainable development.
