The foundation currently supports more than 3,500 children across 10 scholarship academies based in slums, orphanages, schools, and rescue centres throughout Africa, Asia, and South America.
In addition to its martial arts and education programmes, The Bates Foundation has launched a food initiative that provides daily meals to children, often the only meal they receive that day, ensuring they have the nourishment they need to learn, grow and thrive.
