Young people bowled over by cricket in Pakistan

By Helen Vost | Managing Director

Cricket is at the heart of the physical education and sport programme in Karachi developed by Youth Sport Trust International on behalf of the Rangoonwala Foundation. A pilot which reached over 200 schools has led to the establishment of a new organisation, Jawaan Champions, to expand the reach and benefit thousands more young people.

Youth Sport Trust International expert consultants continue to support the programme by:

Training practitioners in country and monitoring their progress

Devising a new curriculum with lesson plans for teachers to follow and

Establishing a simple monitoring and evaluation framework.

Fundamental to the Jawaan Champions new curriculum is a commitment to:

Fully inclusive lessons where every child is actively involved
Progressive activities that support skill development and confidence
Developmentally appropriate, small-sided games suited to limited space
Clear pathways from physical literacy to sport and competition
Reinforcement of active and healthy lifestyle behaviours

This curriculum is designed not only to teach physical skills, but to empower teachers and enable young people to develop positive relationships with movement that extend beyond the classroom.

We are hugely grateful for your ongoing support which helps to fund our work.

THANK YOU
