VISION: Rural Sports Foundation has a transformational influence in rural Zambia by creating safe spaces to expand the experience of childhood - play, friends, growth. We inspire youth and provide resources so they can grow up well-informed, making sound decisions that improve their family lives. MISSION: We deliver high-quality programs designed specifically to help adolescents and rural communities thrive. Our foundation is football, sexual reproductive health and rights curriculum, and youth involvement in advocacy for policies that improve access to services. VALUES: Childhood - We allow youth to engage, have fun - smile. We provide knowledge and tools so children grow up slowly, complete their secondary education, and make good choices throughout life. Equal Opportunities - Communities are stronger when women and girls can participate equally with men and boys. Policies are stronger and more sustainable when they include a full range of voices, including youth input. Informed Choices - Wellness includes access to modern health information and resources. The self-confidence to wisely and independently make health choices is essential to well-being. GOALS: To achieve our mission, we sponsor activities in alignment with three of the seventeen U.N.

At Men of Honour, our mission is to inspire and nurture the development of character, responsibility, and integrity in young people, with a special focus on adolescent boys and young men. We believe that by instilling these core values at a critical stage in their lives, we are not only shaping responsible and ethical individuals but also creating future leaders who can positively impact their communities. Character development serves as the foundation upon which they can build resilience and face the challenges that adolescence brings. We place a special emphasis on adolescent boys and young men because they often face unique pressures, including societal expectations, peer influences, and a lack of positive role models. Through mentorship programs, community engagement, and skill-building activities, Men of Honour provides these boys with the tools they need to take responsibility for their actions, make sound decisions, and develop a strong sense of personal integrity. By encouraging accountability and promoting ethical behaviour, we aim to guide them towards becoming respectful, empathetic, and responsible citizens. Ultimately, our mission is not just about shaping individuals, but also about building stronger communities. By fostering integrity, responsibility, and leadership in adolescent boys and young men, Men of Honour is contributing to a more just and equitable society. We believe that boys and young men who are empowered with these values will go on to be change-makers, helping to reduce societal issues such as crime, gender-based violence, and substance abuse, and creating lasting, positive change.

Advancing Women in Investing (AWI) is a collaborative of more than 100 first-time and emerging female capital movers investing in emerging and frontier markets. Our long-term goal is to create a movement of change to democratize access to funding and opportunity for female investment vehicles managers (IVMs). Female investment professionals represent only 8% of all senior positions in venture capital and private equity firms in Africa and when then they strike out on their own, they struggle to raise capital. AWI was initially founded as a discussion group over WhatsApp to provide support and networking opportunities for members on the journey to start and raise capital for investment vehicles focused on sub-Saharan Africa. The organization has expanded its geography to include emerging markets in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and now helps to unlock channels to capital, skill building, tools and other resources that are currently very limited in the market. We accelerate the development and growth of these talented women to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the investing ecosystem.

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.
