Changing children’s lives through sport
Supporting children and young people to play, learn and lead
We believe in the power of sport to change children’s lives. ChildFund Rugby partners to deliver a range of an innovative and award-winning sport for development curricula, giving children and young people from disadvantaged communities the opportunity to play, learn and lead.
Through integrated rugby and life skills learning, young people from vulnerable communities develop critical social and emotional skills that help them achieve personal goals, build empathy, manage emotions, develop positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. This makes them better equipped to overcome challenges, inspire positive social change, and take active leadership roles within their communities.
ChildFund has been appointed as the Principal Charity for Rugby World Cup New Zealand 2021 and Rugby World Cup Sevens South Africa 2022.
