We raise awareness of AIDS through cricket to strengthen communities and fight disease

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Cricket Without Boundaries (CWB) is a community development and HIV/Aids awareness charity operating in Africa. Since its establishment in 2005 the charity has coached over 6000 children and trained 400 new ICC coaches across Africa with an additional emphasis on raising Aids awareness. I have volunteered to spend 2 weeks in Rwanda in November to join a project team and coach cricket to youngsters and raise awareness of Aids and have to raise money as part of my volunteering. (For more information on CWB go to www.cricketwithoutboundaries.com).

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I am paying for my own airfare (£610) and food etc whilst out there but I have pledged to raise £750 for charity. So please dig deep and donate now. Every pound will make a huge difference - millions in Africa have died already from HIV - please help me reduce it and spread the good word about cricket at the same time.

Thank you.

Jeremy

About the charity

Cricket Without Boundaries is dedicated to helping, educating and developing local communities around the world through the spread and growth of cricket. Crucially, CWB also uses cricket as a tool in the fight against AIDS. CWB’s training sessions have at their heart discussion about the disease in terms of prevention, treatment and equality of treatment for those with and without the disease.
