In order to cover the costs of the project, which includes transport, accommodation and cricket equipment that we will leave in Rwanda, I am looking to raise a minimum of £950 for the two week trip plus I will look to fund raise, with events. a further amount to cover flights and vaccinations.

Cricket Without Boundaries in Rwanda
Situated in the Great Lakes region of sub-Saharan Africa, Rwanda is known for its many hills and stunning scenery. Rwanda has a turbulent history but is rapidly developing with a lot of investment into the country.

The Rwanda Cricket Association (RCA) is the country’s cricketing governing body, based in Kigali. It gained International Cricket Council status as an affiliate country in 2003 and has been developing ever since. The Rwanda U19 Women’s national team qualified for the first ever U19 Women’s T20 World Cup in 2022, many of whom were first introduced to cricket by Cricket Without Boundaries.

There are 210,200 people currently living with HIV in Rwanda, and there are approximately 5,400 new infections each year. There are 5,900 children and young adolescents living with the illness in the country. Young women aged between 20-24 years, are three times more likely to have HIV than men. 76% of all HIV-positive adults, including almost 80% of HIV-positive women, have achieved viral load suppression, which is widely used measure of effective HIV treatment in a population.
