Raising money for a good cause

Play it Forward is a charity that provides opportunities through education, health and gender activities for young people in Southern Zambia. We use a ‘sport for development’ approach as a means to achieving sustainable social change.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Play it Forward was created by my company's CEO in 2018, and has since resulted in the construction of 18 schools, delivering clean water, sanitation & quality education. Over 7,000 children have been engaged in local football programs in Southern Zambia since then.

Will you help the mission to empower young Zambians to have access to the right skills & support needed to succeed in school, the workforce and in life?

I am raising money for a cause that has always been close to my heart - supporting the health, wellbeing & educational opportunities for children & young adults in developing countries and with less privileged upbringings or opportunities.

Here is an overview of how much any small donation can help, and what it can give access to:

£15 - Free HIV test per child ⚕️

£30 - Covers the school fees, books & stationary for 1 child for one full term (!) 📖

£50 - Supports 1 child for a full month, providing a cooked daily meal as part of the nutrition program 🌱

£100 - Gives 25 children & young people access to sexual health, rights & life-skill educational coaching sessions ✍️

£250 - Supplies 50 female players with menstrual products & hygiene kits 👧

I will be travelling to Zambia myself in April 2024 (self funded) to view some of the local projects & meet Play it Forward's local team. I am therefore looking to fundraise a minimum of £1,000 with your support. This will directly go to:

- improvement of local school infrastructure & school attendance

- improvement of health & wellbeing

- better employment opportunities for young Zambians

All monetary examples above are just to give you some ideas of where your money might go towards to. Please don't feel obliged having to donate any specific sum or minimum amount, as I will be more than appreciative for any spare (no matter if small or big) amount you may have to offer. ✨

Together we can make this world a little bit of a better place. 🫶
