We're supporting Scottish Football for Rwanda
They're on a mission to fix up the worst football pitch in the World, at Bisesero, Western Rwanda.
Think slopes, lots of them. Different directions, different gradients. Think big mounds of grass plonked across an uneven clay surface. A telegraph pole several yards onto the pitch, and a big concrete block poking out of the ground somewhere in the middle. A byline with a 40 yard drop down one side and long, skinny trees making up the posts and crossbar.
Then imagine kids of all ages and abilities, playing on this pitch with unlimited enthusiasm, energy and joy. They do already - a typical Rwandan response towards their poverty and hardship, and their horrific past.
Scotland has already left a small legacy of 20 or so houses in the village, funded by a Bishopbriggs church group several years ago.
The total cost will be £10k, of which £6k was raised last year - the aim is to raise the last £4k in 2023
