#InspireDreams
Help make dreams come true by volunteering with Cricket Without Boundaries
All champions start with a dream – of changing lives, of a better future, of World Cup glory. Help us inspire those dreams, by empowering communities through cricket.
Cricket Without Boundaries (CWB) is a charity which delivers cricket development alongside health and social messages in 4 sub-Saharan African countries, Jordan, and the UK. We work on the principle that sport - particularly cricket - is inclusive and accessible for all.
We believe that by working with national cricket associations to grow the game and by supporting local communities, cricket can be used for change. Through sports coaching we can increase HIV/AIDs education and awareness, promote gender equality, challenge stigma and taboos, as well as inspiring young people to strengthen their communities through teamwork and cooperation.
Last year, over 65,000 children – half of whom were girls – across Africa, the Middle East and Europe were coached by our CWB volunteers.
CWB is currently recruiting volunteers for projects in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda for the year 2020. Our projects last for up to two weeks and each trip is made up of a team of 6-8 volunteers, with a mix of coaches and non-coaches to ensure a good spread of skills. We provide full training and support and our projects run in the Spring and Autumn so there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved.
Project dates for Spring 2020 are below. For the first time we will be running a 10 day project during the UK February half term, which will be in Kenya.
Dates
- Kenya: 15th - 23rd February
- Rwanda: 15th - 29th February
- Uganda: 14th - 29th March
A background in cricket is not essential for participation and we welcome volunteers with a wide range of experiences, including cricket and sports coaches and enthusiasts, health and education specialists, and individuals with community development experience. A positive attitude, passion for working with others and willingness to make a difference are, however, essential.
