-Promoting Gender Equality through Sport-
Empowering Girls and Developing Supportive Boys
Why Gender Equity
Worldwide, women and girls are consistently prevented from accessing education, engaging equally in society, or participating in sports activities, sustaining a major barrier to human and community development.
Sport & Olympic Values
KPI is grounded in the ‘Fair Play’ value of the Olympic Movement: that sport should be used as a means of educating people, demanding teamwork and fostering positive relationships.
Genocide Impacted Countries
Genocide adds another layer, making gender equity more challenging, as the trauma of conflict where women were the victims of torture, rape, and other acts of gender based violence still lingers.
End of Year Giving: Peace of Mind Mental Health Fund
For Rwanda and Cambodia, countries that have endured a genocide, the pandemic catalyzed a post-traumatic stress response for many of our coaches, player and their families. Help provide access to mental health services and resources in order to destigmatize and promote good mental health.
Our Founder: Tracy Evans
Tracy, a 3-time Olympian & National Champion in Freestyle Skiing, founded KPI after witnessing, first-hand, the effects of genocide on communities and specifically the impact on gender roles and inequality. READ MORE
