Project Description

This project, titled Bat For a Chance, aims to implement a three‑month pilot in two girls’ schools in Islamabad that integrates cricket into the Achieve life‑skills programme. Reaching 50 adolescent girls, the initiative uses structured sports coaching to strengthen confidence, teamwork, leadership, and resilience within safe, school‑based settings, and concludes with an inter‑school cricket festival showcasing learning and participation.

Overall Goal

  • Empower adolescent girls by combining education, sport, and life skills development
  • Increase girls’ confidence, leadership abilities, and resilience through structured cricket based learning
  • Promote gender equality and social inclusion through positive role models and team based sports
  • Enable girls to apply classroom learning in real life, practical settings
  • Lay the foundation for a national scale up of sport for development programming for girls in Pakistan.
