SHAPING THE PRESENT

A BETTER FUTURE.
WHO WE ARE
Xcalibur Foundation (officially Fundación Xcalibur) is a non-profit organisation working in cooperation and international development. Born in April 2021, it aims to develop socioeducational projects in those countries where its mother company, Xcalibur Multiphysics, is present.
Our mission is to improve the education of vulnerable children, youth, and women, using sport, culture, and training as motivational tools.
Through our programmes, we strive to convey key personal and social values that encourage strong emotional, mental, and physical development in our project beneficiaries, their families, and local communities.

— Education
As the main pillar of our philosophy, education is a key element for us. Equal education access and strong encouragement to attend and continue formal education are essential requirements for the Foundation.

— Respect
A fundamental value and one of the most important life pillars. This begins with treating our team, our partners, and our collaborators with respect, and continues to spread out further to our beneficiaries and their families, communities, and environments.

Understood as one of the most efficient tools for education and training, human values, and life skills, it represents the perfect springboard to encourage change in children and young people. To learn playing and play learning.

USING SPORT TO CHANGE LIVES
“At YSU, we are very excited to partner with Fundación Xcalibur on the very first social sports school in Uganda. There are many factors that hinder the retention of children and youth in school, and many are unable to complete their primary school education. We are therefore happy that this project will create an environment that encourages children to stay in school through both the social and sporting aspects of the project.”
Karen Mukiibi
Project Coordinator, Youth Sport Uganda (YSU)
SKILLS FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE
“It is a blessing to work with Fundación Xcalibur because the Naguru community is full of children with a passion for sports. Many children come from impoverished backgrounds and the skills they will get will help them stay in school and have a bright future.”
