In Belgium, 1.5 million people live below the poverty line, of whom 420,000 are under the age of 18. It is very hard, and sometimes impossible, for these children to access sport. Set up in 2016 in collaboration with the King Baudoin Foundation, the MW Fund aims to finance projects that facilitate access to sport for disadvantaged children in Belgium.
The Fan Day is one of the highlights of the year and sees 50 underprivileged children spend a day with the Belgian national hockey team, the Red Panthers.
Role of the ENGIE Foundation
The ENGIE Foundation supports the Hockey Days project, which brings together children to participate in hockey workshops and tournaments.
