The Special Olympics is a global movement of people creating a new world of inclusion and community, where every single person is accepted and welcomed. The movement helps to make the world a better, healthier and more joyful place—one athlete, one volunteer, one family member at a time. Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Their athletes also recieve access to medical check-ups and treatments from specialised doctors and clinics. Additionally, the Special Olympics organise awareness events in various schools and youth clubs to educate and empower families and individuals all across Egypt.
