Hampshire Cricket Board Partners With Girls’ Cricket In Rwanda
Hampshire Cricket Board partners with girls’ cricket in Rwanda
The Hampshire Cricket Board (HCB) is delighted to announce a formal partnership with the Indatwa Cricket Foundation, a project run and managed by Women & Girls’ Cricket Development Officer Emma Cowdrill via Cricket Without Boundaries (CWB).
This unique relationship will strengthen work that has been ongoing within Rwanda since 2018, increasing the reach and sustainability of the Indatwa Cricket Foundation over the next few years.
The Indatwa Cricket Foundation was set up in response to a February 2023 trip to Rwanda by HCB coaches and young leaders. It draws together the various organisations involved, comprising of the Indatwa Cricket Academy, Hampshire Indatwa, Rwanda Cricket Association, Lord Taverners as well as CWB and the HCB.
This partnership will benefit the game of cricket, bringing the best out of the Ndera girls’ community on and off the cricket field by increasing playing, officiating and coaching opportunities regardless of age and capacity.

Currently 40 girls have sponsors from Hampshire, with the fundraising supporting coaching, tournaments and player development. Several have gone on to international representation, including the Rwanda under 19 Captain Ishimwe Gisele.
It's a hugely positive and exciting collaboration which benefits communities and changes the lives of young women in Rwanda and Hampshire.
