Nyumbani Village offers education, support and shelter to 1000 children orphaned or otherwise affected by HIV and aids.

Nyumbani Village has recently established a boy’s rugby team but does not have any provision to support girls who want to play. Whilst the boys are coached a vast number of girls look on in interest, keen to get involved but not sure how. Thanks to Maggie Alphonsi and the ATLAS Foundation, funding is now found for a small project to develop over three years. This could be bigger with more funding, but ATLAS has ensured that it can start and is supported by qualified coaches.
