About

OurPitch is a community-inspired initiative committed to uplifting rural communities in Zambia. Our aim is to galvanize passion for football in rural villages in order to serve as a mechanism for sustainable growth and development across Zambia.

We harness the power of football to provide underprivileged youth with opportunities for personal and communal growth by supplying essential equipment and high-quality coaching, with the intention of creating a gateway through which the youth can access equal opportunities.

By creating safe and inclusive sports environments, OurPitch aims to promote teamwork, discipline, academic inquiry and healthy lifestyles among young people.

How Your Donation Makes a Difference:

Your donations will allow OurPitch to impact the lives of thousands in rural communities in 2025 by:

1. Supporting and developing rural coaches by funding professional technical and theoretical training programs in collaboration with the Zambian Football Association. To date, OurPitch has trained over 480 coaches in the FAZ-E License Program in partnership with the Zambian Football Association & Ministry for Education. With your support, OurPitch will be able to increase this amount to over 1000 by the end of 2025!

2. Organising community-led tournaments by supplying essential equipment such as balls, goalposts and whistles. To date, OurPitch has engaged over 1400 youth in the Madala Cup Tournament in Vubwi and has preparations in place for a district wide tournament with participants from across the Eastern Province.

3. Highlighting the importance of education through community workshops and coach engagement.
