I Tennis Foundation for Ukrainian Kids: supporting young Ukrainian female tennis players
The Tennis Foundation for Ukrainian Kids, a charity programme in cooperation with Laureus Italia, aims to support young Ukrainian female tennis players in their tennis and schooling.
This is a scholarship scheme for 4 girls born in 2008 and 2009, and selected in Ukraine in cooperation with the Ukranian Tennis Federation (UTF)
The 4 participants will be hosted in Turin at an international residence together with their mothers
The project involves the awarding of four scholarships to four Ukrainian girls born in 2008 and 2009, including tennis training, schooling and international programming coordinated by the I Tennis Foundation technical committee composed of Gipo Arbino, Emilio Sanchez, Ivan Ljubicic and Stefano Massari.
The project’s testimonials are top players Anhelina Kalinina (n° 25 WTA), Marta Kostjuk (n° 33 WTA) and the very young Maria Lazarenko, whom our association has already been supporting for two seasons and helped to move to Italy after the outbreak of war.
