Sports

Sport has the power to improve physical, psychological, emotional, and social well-being. It plays a vital role in cultures and communities globally and can be used to support sustainable development. Beyond health benefits, sports programs contribute to broader goals, encouraging healthier lifestyles and positive social change.

In our Sport Impact Area, you’ll design and run sports, health, and well-being activities, encouraging teamwork and communication through sports. You’ll also have the chance to run physical sports sessions such as PE lessons or after-school sports clubs. 

If you want to be a part of something bigger and share your passion for sports with the next generation then join us and make an impact!

Tanzania

In Tanzania, we've recently established active sports teams at our partner schools, sparking excitement among learners. You could lead holiday sports camps, after-school clubs, morning stretching assemblies, or PE classes. These activities will help children uncover their sports talents, learn new skills, and stay physically and mentally active.
