take part in a sport.
GIT encourages this great initiative.
Through its support to Jérémy Desplanches, GIT reaffirms its commitment to forward the values conveyed through sports: – respect, honesty, commitment – excellence, education, life-skills and lifetime plan around those values.
GIT also communicates its commitment in favour of sports for the broader public as well as its support for a promising young Swiss athlete. En route to the 2016 Rio Olympics !
The emphasis is on disadvantaged children, by offering opportunities for a better future. 100% of donations go directly to projects. The results are real, visible and measurable.
Throughout the world, athletes run under the colours of Help For Hope with the idea that their efforts will induce support for the association.

GIT supports the Marche de l’Espoir (March for Hope), flagship event organised since 1990 by Terre des Hommes, every second Sunday of the month of October in Geneva. This event brings together thousands of youths from the Canton and neighbouring France in solidarity with the children and disadvantaged families in the South. Each year a different country and a different theme related to children’s right are put forward in the advocacy work done beforehand in the schools.
