Iwan's Charity Rugby Trip

Volunteer charity trip to Rwanda

Thank you for visiting my page!

In May 2023 I'll be travelling to Rwanda with Friends fo Rwandan Rugby (FORR). They work in Rwanda to support the growth of participation in the game of rugby, encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle for children in Rwanda. FoRR focuses on teaching rugby to children and young adults in over 100 schools and communities across Rwanda.  Their Rwandan rugby development officers (RDOs) are developing the sport at grass-roots level ensuring sustainable rugby development for the future. It is increasingly accepted that sport can play a big role in healing the personal and societal wounds left by social conflict and upheaval.  The nature and culture of rugby mean that it is a powerful sport for building trust and friendship through shared experience and we believe that rugby can be used as a social-fabric building tool, especially in a country such as Rwanda which has been successfully rebuilding the unity destroyed by the events of the early 90’s.
