‘Pitch Our Future’ is an Australia based initiative, led by Melanie Jones OAM, one of the three women who facilitated the urgent evacuation of 19 formerly contracted Afghanistan women cricketers to Melbourne and Canberra, when they faced imminent danger in their homeland.

Your donation will help to support the playing, mental and physical needs of the young Afghan women so that they can compete on a regular basis as a team. They have escaped a system that wants them indoors, voiceless and songless, and the players now want to inspire other Afghan refugees around the world and to offer hope to women back in Afghanistan.

Pitch Our Future aims to raise AUD$1.5m to fund an initial 3 year program. Your donation will support: English Language Certification, High School and Tertiary Education scholarships, specialised cricket coaching and support (including dietician and mental health support), increased cricket playing opportunities and high performance pathways.

Thank you so much.
