Champions Factory is an international non-governmental organisation bringing social change through innovations in education, training, youth and sport. Our offices are in Sofia (Bulgaria), Dublin (Ireland), London (United Kingdom) and Bursa (Turkey).
We are quite a bit of everything and short list of the main challenges we work on are:
– Lack of educational opportunities to disadvantaged youth and orphans: we organise entrepreneurship courses
– Drop-out of professional athletes after they retire their sports career: we coordinate the major international “Life after sport” project in collaboration with sports foundations, sports schools and federations.
– Gender inequality issues that women face – such as disproportionate levels of poverty and education, poor health and nutrition: We run the project “Women empowerment through sport”
– Juvenile delinquency in Europe and Latin America”: we coordinate the project “Learning through sport” with partners from Colombia, Peru, Brazil, UK, Bulgaria and Romania.
– Doping use of under-aged athletes: We collaborate with Bulgarian Swimming federation and 7 other sports companies within the major project “Stop doping – swim fare”
– Lack of job opportunities for migrant women: we collaborate in the project “Migrant in Fashion“
