Ubunye Challenge Cup
$30,484.00 raised
of $60,000.00 goal | 51 donations
In the heart of South Africa’s Eastern Cape, a movement is growing—one sparked by the dreams of children in 15 rural schools. The Ubunye Challenge Cup is a community-led initiative to bring extracurricular activities like soccer, netball, music, debating, and art to schools where these opportunities don’t yet exist. This isn’t just a program; it’s a celebration of creativity, teamwork, and resilience, driven by the students, supported by their chiefs and communities, and brought to life with our non-profit partners, the Ubunye Foundation.
From now until October, these schools will buzz with excitement as students compete in soccer and netball matches, create art for team jerseys, chant original poems and songs to cheer their teams, and engage in spirited debates. The journey culminates in a vibrant Finals Day in October, where the top four schools (two primary, two secondary) face off in soccer and netball, joined by winning artists, poets, and debaters from all 15 schools. Trophies, prizes, and pride will be shared, showcasing the power of community and opportunity.
Watch our 2.5-minute video to see the Ubunye Challenge Cup in action and meet the students whose lives you’ll transform. We’re aiming to raise $60,000 to make this vision a reality, and 100% of your donation goes directly to the project, thanks to our all-volunteer team. Every gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to empowering these young leaders.
Thank you to our donors!
We are grateful for your support!
