Through more than 40 sport-for-development programs, ALZAHRA has delivered meaningful initiatives in partnership with national organizations, government agencies, and international partners. These programs have supported refugee integration, women’s empowerment, youth leadership, mental wellness, physical activity, anti-racism, and community belonging across diverse communities.
In Afghanistan, ALZAHRA reached more than 3,000 women and girls, creating pathways for participation in sport, leadership development, coaching, entrepreneurship, and health promotion. In Canada, the organization has supported more than 1,900 refugees and newcomers, helping individuals and families build connections, improve wellbeing, and become active members of their communities.
Beyond numbers, ALZAHRA’s impact is reflected in the stories of individuals who have gained confidence, discovered their potential, and found a sense of belonging through sport. Every program represents a commitment to creating safe spaces, breaking barriers, and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate and thrive.
Today, ALZAHRA continues to expand its global impact by combining sport, martial arts, wellness, education, leadership, and innovation to create stronger, healthier, and more inclusive communities around the world.
