Mission
Founded in 1960 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Special Olympics hosted its first athletic competitions for people living with intellectual disabilities in the United States. This personal endeavor has grown into a global movement empowering 4.5 million athletes around the world by giving them opportunities to excel in life through sport.
In 2003, Special Olympics launched its movement in Haiti. Today, SO Haiti offers year-round sports training for more than 300 athletes. The organization partners with specialized schools and centers and families to offer education, training and sport development, health screenings, competitions and unified sport activities between athletes living with and those living without disabilities.
