Our Vision & Goals

Through our transformational legacy projects and unique volunteering programs, we’re building on our success to invest in communities, seeing sport and education as tools for change

As an ambitious organisation, we’re here to uplift and develop African communities through sport and education. We’ve amassed unrivalled expertise in the rugby-for-good and sport-for-good field and we’ve built an extensive stakeholder base in Africa and a remarkable global support network. We aim to strengthen selected country projects, collaborating with partnering communities to run seasonal programs, backed by appropriate resourcing.

We possess a determined resolve to succeed. Building on a decade of experience operating in Africa, BPF plans to increase the impact we make and maintain to enable exponential growth as we witness change first-hand.

Join us on our journey as we implement this vision to support sustainable sport and education programs for the long-term.

Unite communities through sport & education

Working with program administrators, participating children and the wider community, we aim to:

Provide a safe and accessible platform for all children to enjoy playing sports
Incorporate supplementary educational activities, life skills and promote PRIDE values
Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages

Empower local stakeholders

We’re passionate about empowerment. By encouraging local participation, we aim to:

Develop transferrable teaching skills for use on the sports field and in the classroom
Achieve gender equality and empower women and girls
Provide relevant resources – equipment, coaching guides, expertise and funding – to contribute to program growth
Coordinate input from international educators to train local players, teachers, coaches and referees (male and female)
Enable opportunities for local BPF stakeholders to develop personally and professionally

Inspire change

Sport and education serve as powerful tools for positive long-term change. Through a growing support network, we aim to:

Create systems and pathways for participating children to remain in sporting activities, developing life-skills through regular participation
Uplift local communities by identifying responsible individuals capable of employment with BPF, at BPF’s Mtema community centre in Lilongwe, or through its sports, education or vocational training programs
Ensure the success of BPF’s Mtema community centre by implementing effective youth sports programs, offering community-led vocational education and delivering inclusive courses (for all ages)
Initiate infrastructure projects – or other resilient legacy projects – in other country locations, to meet the needs of the community
