Volunteering abroad for at least two months provides a deeper personal experience, fosters lasting relationships and enables real change in the project. A longer stay allows you, as a volunteer, to build confidence, overcome challenges and gain valuable cultural insights. This time also strengthens your social skills and gives you the opportunity to experience long-term friendships and successes.

The 2024 Handball Supercups in Kenya and Tanzania provided not only sporting fun for numerous children and young people, but also valuable educational sessions. As well as thrilling handball matches, the focus was on environmental awareness, mental health and social skills. Thanks to dedicated coaches, volunteers and sponsors, the events were a big success.

Following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, we have reorganised our placement service for volunteer sports coaches abroad. Despite the challenges, we remain committed to social sport projects for children and young people in disadvantaged areas. This requires patience and adaptation to current political and economic circumstances. But together, we are making a fresh start to recruit more volunteer coaches and develop sustainable sports projects.
