Volunteer Zambia Sport~ Leaola Roberts-Biggs

In 2024, I had the privilege of joining Loughborough University Volunteer Zambia team as part of the Wallace Group’s Volunteer Zambia program. This initiative, in collaboration with the Zambian NGO Sport in Action, uses the power of sport to empower and enrich communities through leadership, education, and development.
Spending eight weeks in Zambia as a Netball Development Officer was truly life-changing. I saw firsthand how sport could bring joy, confidence, and opportunity to young people while helping to create sustainable community programs. It wasn’t just the children and coaches who grew during this experience – it transformed me as well. I developed as a leader, gained invaluable skills, and discovered a deeper passion for making a difference through sport.
In 2025, I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to return to Zambia to continue this incredible work with Volunteer Zambia. I’m fundraising to help make this possible, and I would be so grateful for your support. Every contribution will allow me to build on the life-changing impact this program has – both in Zambia and the UK.
Thank you for helping me make a difference!
