“When we have all these young people coming together to play sport, they're engaging in something that's bigger than the individual.” – Vimbai, Zimbabwe

Sport is an incredibly powerful gift. It can unite people from all walks of life, and gives children the chance to enjoy the fun of childhood.

In Zimbabwe, our partners are organising community sports days to promote peace and give young people the chance to come together in a spirit of fun, hope and comradery.

Vimbai, who works for our local partner, said:

“When we have all these young people coming together to play sport, they're engaging in something that's bigger than the individual. It's a team effort. It's not just me. We build peace through having them come to a place like this where they participate together, they fight for common cause, and we appreciate that we win together and we lose together.”
