24 Hour Netball Marathon

1/10/2020

 
We’re very excited to announce that we’ll be taking part in the 24-hour netball marathon hosted by the International Netball Federation and Netfit Netball on Saturday 3rd October.


Our session will be run by the extremely talented Benedicta and our partners Akwaaba Volunteers in Ghana. The session will focus on fitness, skills and fun! Join us from the comfort of your own home via the Netfit Netball Facebook page where the marathon will be streamed live for free.


Together, the INF and Netfit identified three needs within the global netballing community which this event will bridge.


  1. Enabling netballers from around the world to play and develop skills
  2. Empowering all netballers
  3. Growing the game


The INF and Netfit are asking for donations in exchange for a Netball e-Notebook which will contain worksheets and session plans to be completed throughout the marathon. 100% of the proceeds will go to the INF to help fund nations affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sally's Testimonial Ghana 2019

18/8/2019

 
I first considered undertaking a volunteer trip with the Netball Development Trust last summer, after visiting Cape Verde on holiday. Seeing the conditions and spirit of local people there, made me feel very humble and even embarrassed at the flamboyant and materialistic life we all enjoy in this country. I decided that instead of holidaying in such countries, I would prefer to try to offer some sort of help, in whatever small way I could.

I had already learnt of the Netball Development Trust, through Hannah Reed, who has undertaken many trips with the Trust, to Uganda, and I decided this would be something I might like to try. I was already a netball coach and had coached and run my own club for the last 8 years.  :: READ MORE ::

Super Six selected for school scholarships

23/6/2019

 
Our NDT Kenya coordinator, Mr Joseph Dawson Olita, spent the 2019 Independence weekend (1-2 June 2019) in Kitui County of Eastern Kenya visiting our 6 NDT girls who are on an education scholarship there with Katwala High School for Girls. He met the 6 girls and their coaches and later held discussions with the school principal on strengthening the scholarship programme. He also watched the 6 girls play their sub-county netball finals where they beat Kisasi Secondary school 79-1 (not a typo) to emerge sub-county champions ahead of the County competitions next week. We are very proud of the girls and we will support and keep tabs on them all through.

“Super six selected for full secondary school scholarships because of their netball skills from NDT Kenya”

We are delighted to share this Incredible news with you - Six of our NDT Kenya girls have received secondary school scholarships purely based on the netball they have learnt under NDT.
It’s a full scholarship – all their tuition fees are being paid - they just have to pay for their meals, transport and personal items. They left Bungoma county for Katwala High School in Eastern Kenya on 13 Jan 2019.

They were scouted by our partner Joseph Nzioka Makau (from Eastern Kenya) who is an umpire and scouts for scholarships for netball girls. He is also the national fixtures secretary for the Kenya Netball federation, and has been a friend of NDT for a few years, helping at tournaments and sharing his experience.
​
He selected the girls during NDT tournaments he previously attended.

Partnership with Kip Living On

9/4/2018

 
"We are delighted to share news of our fantastic partnership with Kip Living On, based in Mukono, Uganda. http://www.kipliving.org/

Kip Living On Charity Foundation is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to using sports as a tool to promote health and wellness, impart knowledge, skills and awareness amongst the children and youth, looking after destitute, empowering women, preventing HIV/AIDS, drug de-addiction, and awareness about environment and hygiene.

We are working with them on the Dreamwork (Mukono) Netball Project, which was created to educate youth aged 8-25 on 'Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights' (SRHR) and to teach netball and life skills.

This recent report (attached) summarises the progress they have made already this year including conducting a survey on sexual health, to act as a benchmark. This will help us to better understand the impact of our project, and how we may need to make changes to make the most difference. 

We are very excited to work more and more with this wonderful group of coaches"
