Rabina Rajbanshi started playing cricket in her school in Biratnagar, Nepal as part of the CWB, MCCF funded Cricket for Equality project.

“I started playing cricket this year. I love learning to bat, bowl and field, and playing with my friends. I’m now also a Cricket Changemaker. We are working to increase the number of girls playing cricket. We have chosen three main goals - to increase girls’ confidence, to change boys mindsets and reduce teasing by boys, and to make it so the community can see girls playing cricket and build pride in what we can achieve.

For me the big opportunity for girls in cricket is that they can bring money and resources into the family through playing cricket. So, the money I have earned by being a Cricket Changemaker will help support my family financially.”

Hana’a Al Khaldi is a Project Officer at Right To Play in Jordan. In 2018, she was part of a group of staff from Right To Play who trained as a coach with Cricket Without Boundaries, with the aim of going on to build the capacity of local teachers to use cricket games to promote refugee inclusion and deliver fun literacy and numeracy lessons. Cricket-based games continue to be used in Jordan to this day.

“During the application of cricket as a way to improve the educational environment in Jordanian public schools, we had success in increasing the engagement of children and youth in the sport, and gaining the interest of teachers and academic practitioners in adopting cricket as a sport for educational purposes.

Additionally, cricket as an educational tool had been applied for the benefit of Palestinian refugee students which reside within camp settings. As a natural progression from these successes, in Spring 2023 we will support United Nations funded schools (UNRWA) in reaching the goal of applying cricket as a method to improve community cohesion with roughly 5,000 children within eight refugee and host communities participating in our joint programme with CWB.” Volunteer with CWB to help us find the next Hana and start their cricketing journey, while also using the sport as a platform for positive social change.

Queentor Abel discovered cricket aged 12, when CWB came to her primary school in Nakuru. She fell in love with the game, and worked hard to train and improve. Within two years she was playing for the Kenya U19 team, and soon joined the full national team, which she now captains.

Cricket has taken her to play for teams both at home and in Uganda, but more importantly, has helped to change the lives of her whole family.

About her cricketing journey, Queentor says:

“I had interest in the game because it would take me places, and with the money I was able to support my family with rent before getting our own land and helping my mother build the house. I was also able to pay my fees when I joined high school, and help pay my sister's fees.

Cricket has given me the chance to coach and inspire others, and working with CWB we can share the game in so many schools to give opportunities to kids to be the next generation of players and coaches.”
