Active since 2015, ChildFund Rugby has built a movement powered by rugby, inspired by the game’s values, made possible by transformative partnerships, and credibly informed by years of work and experience.
ChildFund Rugby is World Rugby’s global Social Impact Partner. Together, we’re using rugby to promote positive change in communities around the world.
Through our partnership, rugby is more than a game – it’s a powerful tool to inspire young people, tackle inequalities, and create lasting change. By combining World Rugby’s global platform with ChildFund Rugby’s expertise, we’re reaching communities where opportunities are most needed.
