Your call-up to the Street Child Cricket World Cup

Join NGOs from across the globe for the Street Child Cricket World Cup 2023 which will take place in India, in partnership with Save the Children, ahead of the ICC World Cup. 

This Sport for Good tournament of the year will create a global platform for street-connected young people to come together, play cricket, participate in a festival of arts, and advocate their rights through a child-focused Congress and General Assembly. The children will also be part of the ‘I am Somebody’ Express, an epic train journey from Chennai to Delhi to represent the journey many children take as they move away from their homes to the streets. 

Apply now

We are looking for NGOs from across the world who use sport as a platform to support street-connected young people – boys and girls (aged 14-17 at the time of the SCCWC 2023)  – to bring a mixed gender team to represent their country and play for change. Do not worry if you don’t currently use cricket in your programme – we will introduce, support and provide the necessary coaching for you to take part. 

If your organisation supports street-connected young people, then join us at our event and together we can change the way street children are seen and treated - in your country and worldwide.
