About the Foundation
The Foundation promotes Dick Tiger's vision and legacy of empowerment. So far, we have emphasized renovation of primary and secondary school infrastructures in rural and urban communities. The Foundation believes that good education offers the most direct path towards individual and community empowerment, a way out of poverty.
The Foundation believes in gender equality, through cultural, social, economic and political support to women and girls. Discipline achieved through individual and team sports will be the hallmark of the Foundation. As a world champion boxer, Dick Tiger achieved fame and acclaim, honored his nation and supported his community. The goal of this Foundation is to promote these principles as his legacy.
Sports Development: Through sports we will promote collaboration among philanthropists, government and business sectors, ensure participation by women and men from diverse communities and all levels of society in an effort to establish common understandings, enhance excellence, and enable people to improve their lives and reinforce their commitments to themselves and their communities. Recognizing the essence of the youth in a country’s progress, we intend to use sports as a mechanism to reach youngsters, and as a gateway to communities and populations young and old. Sports events and activities will be used to establish targeted goals for the youth, and build their capacity to achieve despite their surroundings and circumstances.
