It was at the foot of the peaks, amidst the majestic tranquillity of the mountains, that the story between What’s Life Project and Sidas began. In late 2022, a simple yet significant meeting took place: between a charity determined to make sport and education accessible to all, even in the most remote regions of the world, and a brand deeply committed to supporting athletes’ performance and comfort.

As our discussions progressed, one thing became clear: we shared a common vision. One in which sport transcends the boundaries of performance to become a tool for connection, hope and fulfilment. A vision in which every step, every stride, can open up new horizons, regardless of resources or circumstances.

For this partnership is not merely a one-off initiative, but a long-term commitment. Together, we are pursuing a clear goal: to enable everyone – from children in remote villages in Nepal to athletes striving to push their limits – to find in sport a force that changes their lives.

Sidas and What’s Life Project are a story of hope and ambition. A story that is being written day by day, to the rhythm of mountains climbed and hearts touched. A story that reminds us that, sometimes, a simple encounter can make all the difference.

WHAT'S LIFE PROJECT

What’s Life Project (WLP) is a charity founded in 2022, working to provide access to sport and education in Nepal. It operates in Babaré, a small village where it is renovating infrastructure, providing school and sports equipment, and offering scholarships to support children. Since November, it has also been supporting Suman, a child born intersex who requires medical care.

Having started out in the world of trail running, the charity has, since 2026, broadened its commitment to encompass all outdoor sports. This development reflects its ambition to bring together a wider community around shared values of commitment and pushing boundaries.

This film chronicles What’s Life Project’s second mission in the heart of the village of Babaré, in Nepal. From renovating classrooms and building a sports ground to memorable moments shared with the children and local teams, the film reveals an intense human adventure, characterised by adaptability, commitment and hope — ‘āshā’ means ‘hope’ in Nepali.

In 2025, WLP continued its work in Babaré with a mission focused on the school and sport. Seven classrooms were refurbished (painted and fitted with carpet) and fitted with electricity. A football pitch was created for the village children. The team also provided school and sports equipment, and organised a short race with the children, covering a few metres.
