GLOBAL CHILDREN’S CHALLENGE™

Formed in 2010 and fully funded by the Global Corporate Challenge®, the Global Children’s Challenge™ was designed to empower and support school children worldwide to become more active and healthy, at no cost to their parents, school or government.

The Global Children’s Challenge™ was developed following the success of the Global Corporate Challenge® which, since its launch in 2004, has helped over 950,000 adults globally develop a better relationship with exercise.
