Cricket Builds Hope Information

Cricket Builds Hope is a charity that uses cricket as a tool for positive social change in Rwanda. CBH harnesses the power of sport to promote reconciliation and tackle deep-seated social issues like gender inequality through specially tailored sessions run by CBH’s cricket coaching team. Cricket Builds Hope is the successor organisation to the Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation (RCSF), which was founded in 2011 to build the country’s first proper cricket ground. The not-for-profit ground – the Gahanga Cricket Stadium (GCS) – which was completed and opened in October 2017, consists of an ICC international standard wicket with pavilion and bar, as well as community facilities such as a medical centre which allows the Rwanda Biomedical Centre to deliver free HIV testing.
