Maria Sharapova’s personal mission reaches new milestone with $210,000 Chernobyl scholarship fund
Maria Sharapova’s family left Belarus after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, which shaped her later charity work. Through her foundation and the UNDP, she supported scholarships, sports facilities and youth projects in affected areas. She also donated to Save the Children’s Ukraine crisis relief fund in 2022, extending her support to children facing another humanitarian emergency.
