The Azuri Golf Tournament, held on September 19, 2026, at The Nine golf course in Mauritius, brought together leaders and partners for a day of golf and solidarity. The event raised Rs 1 million, which will be donated to two local NGOs, Anou Grandi and Étoile de Mer. Each organization will receive Rs 500,000 to support projects that improve the care, inclusion, development, and autonomy of young people with specific needs.
The funds raised for Anou Grandi will be used to establish a workshop for young people with disabilities who are completing their schooling. The workshop will provide a space for them to develop practical skills, gain autonomy, and showcase their work through a small sales area. Rekha Soorjun, director of Anou Grandi, expressed gratitude for the support, highlighting the importance of preparing young people for life after school.
Étoile de Mer, which supports over 40 young people aged 12-16 who have faced challenges in traditional schooling, will use the funds to construct new, better-adapted facilities. The new premises will improve learning conditions and enable the development of activities for young people, their families, and the community. Corinne Rivalland, president of Étoile de Mer's board of directors, emphasized the significance of this support in advancing their project.
The Azuri Golf Tournament was organized by BlueLife Ltd, with Hugues Lagesse, CEO, stating that the event aimed to bring together leaders and partners in a convivial setting while contributing to the local community. The tournament's format, featuring a nine-hole course, was chosen for its compact and friendly nature, allowing participants to enjoy golf, exchange ideas, and build connections.
The golf course, recognized as the World's Best Par 3 Golf Course in 2023 and 2025 by the World Golf Awards, provided an ideal setting for the event. Nicolas Rey, Chief Operating Officer of BlueLife Ltd, highlighted the course's unique format, which combines the pleasure of golf with a family-friendly atmosphere, fostering connections among participants.
The competition was played in a Fourball Alliance format, with two scores counted per hole and a maximum of three throws per player. The event demonstrated Azuri's commitment to combining the golfing experience with meaningful engagement in support of local organizations working with young people and families.
The Azuri Golf Tournament successfully raised Rs 1 million for two deserving NGOs, showcasing the power of sports and community coming together for a good cause.
