Cricket Without Boundaries works with partners around the world to grow the game of cricket, while using the sport as a platform for health education and social change. We are proud of the reach of our work, and the impact that it has in the communities we work with.
Since we began our work in 2005 we have reached thousands of children and adults, and with your help we hope to continue this for years to come.
We regularly ask players to tell us about what they learn from playing cricket and from being involved with Cricket Without Boundaries sessions, using our integrated learning methods. We use this information to continually check if we are achieving our goals:
When boys and girls have equal opportunities to play cricket we build expectations of gender equal participation in all aspects of life.
In sub-Saharan Africa, boys and girls believe they can play cricket together, and the percentage rises as children get older. We want to achieve this or better across all our countries.
Across our programmes, the most common things players say they learn from cricket are happiness (81%) and teamwork (42%). This is key to promoting inclusion of everyone in a community.
Our participants hail from the UK, Afghanistan, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, South Sudan, and DRC; we work in regions that host many refugee communities.
Following a programme of coaching from a CWB Ambassador, HIV knowledge increases by 36%, compared to 2% using the normal school approach.
Our integrated learning methods mean that just 1 session results in greater awareness of HIV prevention, testing and treatment, including twice as many students identifying condoms as a prevention tool.
