Cricket4Kids serves as a conduit between Australian sporting teams and communities across the globe. Our focus is the collection, transportation and distribution of unwanted cricket equipment to children in less fortunate circumstances. To date, we have collected over 2 tonnes of equipment, established a network of business partners in Australia and developed strong partnerships with donor organisations in Sri Lanka and numerous Pacific Islands.

These partnerships ensure Cricket4kids’ objectives are met with equipment reaching some of the most vulnerable and underprivileged people in developing countries.

We at Cricket4kids believe this initiative serves a second purpose in inspiring the Australian cricketing society to be more engaged in the international language of cricket. We aim to expand individual’s and clubs’ cricketing experiences beyond their own accolades and participation to the world where cricket serves such an important psychosocial role.

The team at Cricket 4 Kids are inspirational. Their generosity in volunteering time and energy to procure cricket equipment to support developing nations has had a direct impact in Cook Islands Cricket affording to support the growth of cricket in the country which within the past two years has raised its junior participation numbers from 50 to 3000, 6 women's teams to 32 and spread to 8 addition islands. I strongly urge every corporate to take the opportunity to affiliate themselves with a productive, innovative and passionate volunteer organisation and in doing so make a direct contribution to the development of cricket, and most especially, the lives of youth in the Pacific.
