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 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.

NDT has actively measured our impact across many different areas of our programmes; statistical and anecdotal. We are really proud of the successes and differences the programme has made to date and the impact we are having on children, teachers and volunteers we work with. We already recognise that this process can be developed and will continue to strengthen this over the next year. ​

"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"
