About this facility

Mission

It’s hard to imagine that just a short plane trip from US shores is a place unlike any in the world—a place where the daily search for human survival is a constant way of life. For thirty-five seconds on January 12, our world was rocked and the aftershocks are still reverberating. Haiti’s 7.0 earthquake has been called the “worst natural disaster in human history,” claiming an estimated 230,000 lives and rendering 1.3 million people homeless. Even today, people are still searching for safe shelter and food. The International Sports Alliance’s immediate response was to provide basic survival necessities—food, water, and medical treatment to the suffering. Disaster relief funds were distributed directly into the hands of several churches and organizations to care for their people. These resources saved lives and gave hope to many. Haiti still desperately needs help to move beyond mere survival to a place where human beings can thrive. The International Sports Alliance exists to make a significant and enduring difference in the lives of the world’s impoverished by helping people to rise above their present circumstances, to reach the highest potential of their intended design, and to become catalysts for change through servant leadership. • Equip—We are committed to providing humanitarian goods for effective and healthy living, and athletic equipment for fair and safe competition. • Enrich—We are committed to creating educational experiences to enhance mental, physical, and spiritual development. • Empower—We are committed to training and sending servant leaders to become effective role models and influential leaders. • Extend—We are committed to building strategic, collaborative alliances that influence change.
