Sports For Change
Play For Hope is a nonprofit, Rwandan charity, that dreams of a world where every child, every street kid, and every orphan can have positive adult mentorship and can be given a chance for the future. We use sports, like basketball and soccer (football), to create opportunities to change lives. We believe that AIDS and genocide do not have to define Rwanda or Africa. Hope and peace are possible. Sports provide an outlet for children to learn about themselves and their passions and to learn that they can make an impact in the world.
Sustainability
We believe that nonprofits and charities must find new ways to create sustainability where they work. Empowering Rwandans rather than creating dependence. It is our goal to create business ventures and to seek local sponsorships and grants so that one day we will be fully financially sustainable within the countries that we work.
Expanded Impact
Our entire nonprofit structure and format is based upon expanding our impact by raising mentors and leaders from within Rwanda. We believe that Rwandans can be equipped to be the change they desire for their country. We raise leaders from every area and neighborhood in Rwanda to impact the lives of children, especially orphans, AIDS and HIV+ children, and street children. This allows every child to receive individual love and mentorship in a way that our staff alone could never produce. In this way we are extending our impact throughout Rwanda and East Africa. Currently we have 12 fully trained head coaches who work along with their assistant coaches to mentor our youth.Mentorship
Every child needs basic necessities to survive including food, shelter, and clean water. We believe that mentorship and positive adult love is as vital to child's future as these necessities. To this end we are working to mentor and care for the forgotten within Rwanda. Currently we have 600 youth on our sports teams to receive positive mentorship experiences.Hope
Hope is not a catchphrase to us or a trendy word. It is an ability for every child to know that a better future is attainable. Hope is as much as about dreams as real opportunities for a child to change their lives. And it is an ability above all for a child to know they are loved both by adults around them and by God. Will you join us in changing the life of a child in Rwanda?
