Revealing the champion in everyone

In Cameroon, we use sport to give people with intellectual disabilities the place they deserve.

Our mission

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

“Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.”

The Special Olympics athlete oath
