We believe in the power of sport to change children’s lives. ChildFund Rugby partners to deliver a range of an innovative and award-winning sport for development curricula, giving children and young people from disadvantaged communities the opportunity to play, learn and lead. Simon Whyte, chair of ChildFund Alliance, says:
“ChildFund Rugby helps young people practice the skills they need to keep safe in a rapidly changing environment and supports global efforts to achieve gender equality and end all forms of violence against children.”
Through integrated rugby and life skills learning, young people from vulnerable communities develop critical social and emotional skills that help them achieve personal goals, build empathy, manage emotions, develop positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. This makes them better equipped to overcome challenges, inspire positive social change, and take active leadership roles within their communities.
ChildFund has been appointed as the Principal Charity for Rugby World Cup New Zealand 2021 and Rugby World Cup Sevens South Africa 2022.

I support ChildFund Rugby as it is a fantastic initiative to help support and grow children across the globe, not only in rugby, but in transferring the positive values learnt through the game across into everyday life. The drive to use rugby as a tool to develop these children into confident and aspiring leaders is fantastic.
