THE BUTTERFLY INITIATIVE™: MENTORSHIP FOR YOUNG WOMEN
Inspired by Ali’s legendary quote — “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” — the Butterfly Initiative™ pairs young women throughout the UAE with accomplished female mentors and leaders.
“Just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly within a protective cocoon, this program will empower young women to grow, mature, and rise beautifully,” said Dr. Garcia.

AFGHANISTAN PEACE THROUGH SPORTS: A SYMBOL OF HOPE
The second initiative supports the Afghanistan Olympic Stadium Project, a U.S.-based nonprofit focused on building a youth-centered, Olympic-style stadium in Afghanistan to promote peace and unity through sport.
“Soccer balls instead of guns. Boxing over bombs. Gymnastics replacing fear,” said project founder Mr. Atta Amin.
“If peace through sports has worked around the world, why not in Afghanistan?”
