Grassroots to Global Connect 2025

ChildFund Rugby harnesses the power of rugby to drive positive social change, supporting children and young people in vulnerable situations to build leadership, resilience, and shape their own futures.

RUGBY – A POWERFUL TOOL FOR CHANGE

Through integrated rugby and life skills learning, young people in vulnerable situations develop critical social and emotional skills, which help them achieve personal goals, build empathy, manage emotions, develop positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

This enables them to overcome challenges, inspire positive social change, and take active leadership roles within their communities.
