AROUND THE WORLD...
Overseas, we work with partners to provide life-changing opportunities
by harnessing the transformative power of cricket and the MCC brand
to open up access to the game. The children receive year-round coaching and match play which
provides them with welcome relief from the hardships they face and
much needed joy. NEPAL
There is huge passion for cricket across Nepal, but a lack of investment
and infrastructure. We are nurturing the next generation of cricketers
by taking cricket into schools and communities. With a focus on
empowering women and girls, we are using the game as a tool to tackle
harmful gender norms. SRI LANKA
Talent is universal but opportunity is not, and access to high-quality
cricket in Sri Lanka is often the preserve of those in the major cities. We work with partners to provide scholarships to girls from rural
communities, enabling their development. Many have gone on to play
for the Sri Lanka national team. EAST AFRICA
Our projects in Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya are making an incredible
impact with thousands of young people engaged on our programmes. We are helping these countries to bridge the gap between softball
cricket and the talent pathway, supporting the National Cricket
Associations in the region. SOUTH AFRICA
MCCF supports a Women’s Empowerment Programme for girls from
townships around Cape Town. Bringing together hundreds of female
players from these communities, the programme is providing individuals
with access to high-quality cricket coaching and a life-skills programme.
