Testimonials

Rugby has been such an important part of my life so it’s incredible to see that children living in significant poverty are being given the same opportunity to play. The ChildFund Rugby program uses sport to drive social change, and to equip young people for the challenges they may face in the future. This is the true spirit of rugby.

Bringing young women and girls from disadvantaged countries into the game of rugby is great in itself, but using the game as a development tool of their young lives is amazing and innovative.

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.

Since becoming a player, I learnt that boys and girls are equal. I hope the program can spread everywhere, even across the globe, so children in other places of the world can enjoy learning and playing like us here

If you stay silent, people might never abandon their outdated prejudices. Let’s speak up at the right time, in the right place, to protect your own rights and the rights of other girls.

I am proud to be a Coach, to be a role model and a leader in my community. Anyone can be a leader, regardless of their status or gender.

I did things that I previously thought impossible. To all the girls and women out there, please keep being involved in whatever makes you happy and makes your community a better place.

I believe that everyone has unlimited ability. If we have a strong intention to develop ourselves, we can make it happen.

I think it is important to involve women and girls in leadership roles, because they can be great leaders and will inspire other women and girls in Laos.

I’m from a small community, but my dream is big and I will work hard to achieve my goal. I’m so proud that at my young age, I’m able to lead children and young people in my community to play tag rugby.
