Making an impact

Every trip not only brightens up the lives of the kids we meet, but we do our best to make a material difference, from funding to equipment to coaching experience - no matter how small, it all counts

Experience of a lifetime

An overused phrase sometimes, but these trips truly are the experience of a lifetime for the youths and coaches involved

Rwanda has a recent history that we can only shake our heads at in disbelief and horror, and it has crippling levels of child poverty. Yet the people you’ll meet show an incredible resilience, grace and friendliness - it changes your perspective on what really matters in life

Itinerary

"I felt every possible emotion on this trip and used virtually every adjective to describe it. An incredible experience that I'm proud and honoured to have been a part of."

“How far Rwanda and its people have come in such a short period of time is truly inspiring. A real life impacting experience. Any coach who gets the opportunity, go!”

What’s Involved?

Over 10 days a group of 16 youth players and 6 experienced youth coaches will visit several parts of Rwanda, from the capital Kigali to the Western District of Karongi, organising football sessions for kids of all ages and abilities, from Rwanda’s leading Academies to Street Rescue children

The trip will also visit several Genocide Memorial sites, to put everything into perspective
