Street Child United and RawBank create football for good programme to support children in the DRC

Press release

Kinshasa, 18 July 2023 - Street Child United (SCU) is delighted to announce a three-year partnership with Rawbank to run the "1 million d’espoirs" development programme dedicated to sport and improving the skills and independence of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The partnership will be implemented in two phases; the first two years of the programme will provide a ‘train-the-trainer’ format with selected partner organisations working on the ground in the DRC. SCU will provide a tailored curriculum that delivers football sessions and human rights workshops in conjunction with SCU values, upskilling selected coaches, to deliver to hundreds of young people.

The programme, is built to be sustainable with participating projects taking full ownership once SCU has provided all training components. This will further increase the impact and reach over forthcoming years. The second phase will run from the start of 2025 and will focus on capacity building across advocacy, media, and fundraising, so that the DRC can send a boys and girls team to participate at the Street Child World Cup in 2026 in North America.
