Co-Founder, Delos

Morad Fareed, interviewed at the FII Priority Summit in Rio de Janeiro, announces the FC Mother project. This initiative aims to improve maternal health by leveraging football as a social change tool. Morad explains that after a decade of research with Harvard, the project decided to bypass traditional healthcare and governmental avenues, opting to work through football due to its universal appeal and influence. The project partners with the Pelé Foundation and plans to launch a new Brazilian league, gamifying maternal health to engage and educate communities. Morad highlights the critical role mothers play in the development of footballers and humanity, emphasizing the need to prioritize maternal health, which is often overlooked by governments and investors. He stresses the importance of addressing this issue, which costs humanity dearly in terms of life years and economic impact.
