“Thanks to the Youth Sports & Culture Fund, they can still participate in sports and be carefree children again.”

Athlete Sifan Hassan ran for miles as a child. She always played outdoors in the hills of Ethiopia and has fond memories of that time. Even after her flight from Ethiopia, sports played an important role. Initially, it was a way to forget her worries, but later, it was a way to build a new future.
