Sports can teach teamwork, discipline, and the confidence to keep going when things don't go our way. CRY UK's project teams use this to their advantage, helping children play, represent their communities at every level, and stay in school too.
Where playgrounds are limited, children reclaim spaces to play. Girls are challenging gender barriers too, drawing strength from the Children's Collectives. Because when children get to play, participate and lead, they build confidence both on and off the field, without stepping away from school.
This is the third part of our ‘How’ series, where we explore how the right support helps children overcome barriers, stay connected to education, and prepare for the future.
Support CRY UK to help more children stay in school while finding their confidence, voice and opportunities through sports.
