Playing for Life

Playing for Life was set up in 2005 by RTE Sports Journalist, Tracy Piggott, following a trip to Ethiopia. By asking African Communities what they need, Playing for Life aims to provide funding for Educational and Sporting facilities using local staff  with the long term aims of employment and self sufficiency. Playing for Life is now recognised by the Irish Government and is receiving major funding from Irish Aid for projects in Malawi.

Our annual RUN TO AFRICA fundraising event will take place around the country during 2009. See WWW.RUNTOAFRICA.ORG for event details.
