Tag for Teachers

We have been delighted to receive a grant from the Bill Mclaren Foundation that has enabled us to continue our Tag for Teachers program. The money provided will allow the program to continue for the next two years and provide training days for teachers in some the most remote areas of Rwanda so that many more children will be able to enjoy the benefits of organised sport. Here is our Program Manager, Kamanda Tharcisse commenting on the program:

Mahama Refugee Camp

In September 2023 we appointed a new RDO, Emmanuel, to work in the District of Kirehe. The main reason for choosing Kirehe was that there is a large UNHCR run refugee camp there.

The plan was that Emmanuel could provide the young people at the camp with organised sport and introduce them to rugby.

We have been delighted with the impact Emmanuel has made.

We are now trying to source some funding to extend this program and we hope that one of our other RDOs will soon be working in Kigeme Camp in Nyamagabe.

Final newsletter for 2023

Here is the last newsletter for 2023 which has been a busy year. We have taken on 4 new RDOs in 4 new districts. We are now working in more than half of the districts in Rwanda delivering thousands of sessions of organised sport to thousands of children in communities and schools.

Many thanks for all the help and support we have received over the year!

Here’s to 2024 – we have lots of plans!

Tag for Teachers

We have more requests from schools than we can manage and often the schools are too far away for our RDOs to visit. So we came up with a solution: Tag for Teachers (TFT) is a training course delivered by our RDOs to primary school teachers. As well as a full day’s course for two teachers per school, the schools receive all of the equipment they need to deliver Tag Rugby in their schools. Our RDOs still provide advice and support and when the schools are ready we organise a tournament. We are very grateful to the Bill McLaren Foundation and the Barbarians Charitable trust for funding this program.
