Karim Adeyemi Foundation (KAF) brought the spirit of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) to life with a vibrant event at the Distance Learning Centre, University of Ibadan, Oyo State.
A Beautiful Mosaic of Unity
Nearly 100 students, teachers, and parents from various secondary schools across Oyo State came together, creating a stunning picture of unity in diversity.
The event resonated with the unifying power of the recent African Cup of Nations (AFCON 2024). Witnessing Nigerians from all walks of life united behind their national team served as a powerful reminder that sports can transcend differences and foster a sense of togetherness.

Empowering Young Minds
Beyond celebrating IDSDP, this event was a significant step towards KAF’s ambitious goal: providing scholarships for 1,000 Nigerian students by 2030. By fostering a love for sports and encouraging critical thinking, Karim Adeyemi Foundation is laying the groundwork for a future generation that embraces unity and peace.
The essay writing exercise challenged students to use their creativity and knowledge, pushing them to excel not just for themselves but also for their schools.
