🌍 Meet the YSEP Cohort | Leeroy "Moose" Nyamaropa

Meet Leeroy Tinashe Nyamaropa, better known as "Moose," from Zimbabwe! 🇿🇼

This year, Moose joins Sport In Action in Lusaka through the Youth Sport Exchange Programme (YSEP), bringing with him a passion for using sport as a force for positive social change.

Fun fact? Among everything he packed for the journey, he somehow found space for a Psychology textbook, even though, in his own words, he's "not sure where I will use it!" 📚😄

When asked why he applied for YSEP, his answer was simple but powerful:

"Because I believe that sport can be a powerful tool for social change."

As he begins this new chapter, Moose is looking forward to experiencing Zambia, learning about its culture and even picking up a bit of the local language along the way.

Welcome to the YSEP family, Moose! We can't wait to see the impact you will make. Takulandilani

SAFE SPORT STARTS WITH US.

Sport should be a place where young people feel safe to participate, express themselves, build confidence and discover their potential.

At Sport In Action, we believe that creating positive change through sport also means creating spaces where every participant is respected, included and protected.

From the coach on the sidelines to the teammate beside you. we all have a role to play in keeping sport safe.

Let’s build sporting spaces where young people can play without fear, grow with confidence and reach their full potential.

The Volunteer Zambia 2026 Group Two cohort was officially welcomed to Zambia and is ready to begin eight weeks of community engagement alongside Sport in Action coaches.

During the induction, Sport in Action's Human Resource Manager, Mr George, reminded the volunteers that every contribution they make to the programme makes a difference. He encouraged the volunteers to recognise that while they may not immediately see the impact of their work, the change they help create will become evident over time, adding that the true results may only be visible 10 or so years from now through the lives they have helped shape and the communities they have supported.

As the volunteers begin their placement, they embark on a journey of learning and cultural exchange while contributing to the long-term development of young people and communities across Lusaka.

We would like to thank the British high commission for welcoming and hosting us for the induction of the second group of Volunteers

In May, SIA conducted 6 sports tournaments across 6 districts in the southern and western province, respectively.

The tournaments dubbed - “Big Catch up Sports tournaments” facilited creation of a platform were health services were brought closer to communities which are hard to reach - in turn, making it very challenging for children and babies under the age of 5 to access vital vaccinations & immunisations.

SIA, CHAZ and Gavi remain committed to ensuring an Active, Healthy and better living for all.

"We did not know that sport could offer so much more for our children."

For many families in the community, sport was often seen as just a game, something children did for fun after school. But through a door-to-door outreach conducted by Sport In Action volunteers and local coaches, parents and guardians began to see sport from a different perspective.

Visiting homes within the community, the team engaged families in conversations about the importance of children participating in sport and how it contributes to their physical health, confidence, discipline, teamwork and personal development.

For children, the outreach created awareness that sport is a space where they can discover their abilities, build friendships and develop skills that will support them both on and off the playing field.

"I want my child to have opportunities that I never had," shared one parent. "Understanding the benefits of sport has encouraged me to support my child’s involvement."

Together with our volunteers, coaches, parents and communities, we shall continue to use sport as a tool for positive change.
