ChildFund Rugby partners to provide children and young people with opportunities to play, learn and lead.

Using integrated rugby and life skills curricula, young people from vulnerable communities are equipped to overcome challenges, inspire positive social change, and take active leadership roles within their communities.

ChildFund Sport for Development

Under ChildFund Australia’s guidance, all rugby for development programs contribute to achieving gender equality, reducing inequality, and ending violence against children, reflecting targets within the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Participants also develop critical social and emotional skills which help them to achieve personal goals, build empathy, manage emotions, develop positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

ChildFund Rugby partners to deliver high quality, evidence-based social outcomes. ChildFund Rugby’s biggest Rugby for Development program, Pass It Back, is a key component of the Rugby World Cup 2019 Impact Beyond legacy program – ChildFund has also been appointed as the principal charity partner for Rugby World Cup 2021 to further leverage the sport to deliver social change, with a focus on girls and women.

ChildFund is recognised as a Pioneer Organisation within the International Safeguards for Children in Sport, which ensure that children are physically and emotionally safe across sport. We undertake work with sports partners around the globe to ensure that the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults in sport is a priority.
