Levelling the Playing Field: Building sports Court in Zambia

Story

We are a team of six Civil Engineering and Architecture students from the University of Bath, using our skills to make a real impact. This summer, we’re heading to Zambia to design, build, and renovate sports facilities for communities who currently have little to no access to safe places to play. For many, a simple outdoor court isn’t just a place to play, it’s a lifeline. It’s a space where young people can come together, stay active, and be part of something bigger. Sports empower, unite, and inspire, and we believe that everyone deserves that opportunity. This is a 100% student-led project, and we’re responsible for making it happen, from fundraising to construction. We’re working alongside Sport In Action, a Zambian NGO dedicated to transforming lives through sport. But we can’t do this alone. Your support will directly fund materials and labor, bringing these courts to life. Every donation, big or small, helps us lay another brick, paint another line, and create a lasting impact for generations to come. ⚽ SPONSOR A SQUARE ⚽ For just £10, you can sponsor 1m² of our new sports pitch, directly funding the materials and labour needed to bring this space to life.
