Volunteer Zambia · 21 November 2018

Volunteer Zambia is an international Sport for Development project. The project uses sport as a vehicle to engage, inspire and educate disadvantaged young people in Zambia around gender equality and HIV/AIDS, while also developing sport as a whole.

Story

I am fundraising to support the Volunteer Zambia project in 2019. Zambia is one of the poorest countries in the world, with high rates of HIV/AIDS playing an exacerbating role. An overwhelming 1.2 million children are orphaned in Zambia due to AIDS in a population of just 17 million. However, harrowing statistics like these are improving with the support of a global network of development and aid projects meaning life expectancy at birth has risen from under 50 to over 62 years old in just the last 12 years (United Nations). Each summer the 7 universities of the Wallace Group team up to send students and staff members out to work in Zambia for 6 weeks, from the period of May-September. Working with Sport in Action, the student volunteers help deliver school PE lessons, community sports programmes and health awareness workshops within the deprived areas of the citys compounds.
