Winning the world over

From indigenous sports to global sporting events, sport has a power to bring people together. The 2004 Athens Olympics was another clear example of how sport can transcend national, racial, spiritual, and political boundaries and unite people across the globe.

"Sport can play a role in improving the lives of not only individuals, but whole communities."

Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, Salt Like City Games 2002

Sportventurer gives individuals the chance to sink their teeth into a game they previously may not have had a huge amount of time for. It's about meeting new people and making new friends. It's about getting frustrated with a different pace of life and becoming more patient when the match doesn't kick-off at exactly 2:30pm. It's about living in a new climate and culture and learning how people live off less. It is about living, eating and breathing sport; and using it as a vehicle to develop and change yours and other people's lives for the better.

Past projects have included helping build community schools, clinics, and orphanages, as well as setting-up sports leagues and sponsoring teams and academy scholarships for individuals.

Sportventurer is a specialist programme run by Madventurer, an award winning Development Travel company that offers opportunities to take part in development projects and adventurous travel worldwide.
