Summary

BILD is a unique initiative which enables thousands of children in the developing world to achieve their full potential through sports leadership training. In August 2024, the BILD programme was launched in Malawi, aiming to reach 13,000 children and young people across Lilongwe. The programme works alongside established in country organisations to ensure as many children as possible are impacted and that young people can still benefit from our training after the programme has ended.

Challenge

The fifth poorest country in the world, Malawi faces many social, economic and health challenges: - 85% of Malawians live in rural areas, making access to health services, education and professional training very difficult - 40% of Malawi's population (19.65 million) live on less than US$1 a day That's why Youth Sport Trust International is establishing a new Beckwith International Leadership Development programme (BILD) there, working with in country partner, the Bhubesi Pride Foundation.

Solution

BILD Malawi will upskill practitioners and then mentor them to train young people from the local community to become sports leaders, developing their life and employability skills through physical activity and sport. These young leaders will then put their new skills into practice by running activity festivals for younger children.

Long-Term Impact

1. Young people will have accessed high quality leadership development training 2. Young people will have a portfolio of skills that will enhance their life chances and employability. 3. Children in schools and communities will experience sport and play activities 4. Stakeholders will have a deeper understanding of youth sport leadership and have taken steps to integrate the concept into national, regional and district plans. 5. BILD will be integrated into school and community plans.
