Game-changing development and program expansion in Arusha
Juma Kittyler, a Tanzanian who was introduced to rugby while working as a chef, went on to represent his country in several international fixtures. Inspired by rugby and its values he established Tanzania Rugby Development (TRD) to use rugby as a tool to empower underprivileged children. BPF UK has supported Juma’s work through volunteer engagement, provision of sports equipment and grants through the Ed Cooper Memorial Fund. The family of Ed Cooper – a British student and keen rugby player who tragically died in 2016 just days after starting university – have donated funds to this initiative since 2018.
We’re helping the team to register a local NGO to optimise an existing development program, enabling Juma to build on his work of exposing hundreds of children to the sport and instilling the values of teamwork, respect and discipline.

Every Saturday, children from all across Arusha come together at a school in town to practice, rain or shine, mud, dust or grass. Juma's program has over 500 children coming to practice, with a core group of 60 regulars; 30% girls. The children are aged between 9 and 18.
