The Global Judo Project (GJP)
The GJP supports programs that provide training, development, equipment and competitive opportunities for judo athletes and programs in underserved regions. Through targeted funding, the GJP supports programs that create lasting impact on and off the mat.
Our Mission
Originally focused on programs on Mt. Everest in Nepal, the project has expanded its mission to support judo initiatives across South Asia, including Pakistan and other regions in need of resources and development opportunities.
We honor the original donor intent by continuing programs in Nepal, while new donations allow us to broaden our reach and create more opportunities for young athletes globally.
