Mackenzie's fundraiser for Scottish Football for Rwanda

Mackenzie Smyth is raising money for Scottish Football for Rwanda
“A trip to Rwanda to volunteer ”

on 23 June 2026

Scottish Football for Rwanda brings together a community of Scottish grassroots coaches to support children in Rwanda through a shared love of football.

Story

This summer I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to return to Rwanda for a two-month volunteering trip, starting on July 23rd. During this time, I’ll be working alongside a charity that supports local children and communities by delivering positive change through football.

I was fortunate enough to visit Rwanda last year for two weeks, and the experience was truly life-changing. Seeing first-hand the impact football can have on confidence, education, and community spirit inspired me to go back — this time for a much longer period — to continue making a difference. Last years trip Really opened my perspective on life and I was fortunate to witness how the other half of this planet lives, it’s changed my views and goals of the future of my life.

The money raised will help the charity provide equipment, coaching, and opportunities for children to get involved in football, benefiting not only the kids but their wider communities as well.

Thank you so much to everyone who donates or supports this journey. No matter the size of the donation, every contribution makes a huge difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the support. ❤️
