Grassroots Cricket is a Zimbabwean non-profit organisation run from Australia. They harness the power of cricket to help transform young lives in vulnerable communities of Zimbabwe by providing life coaches, life skills and essential support.
The organisation is targeting to reach out to 15 000 boys and girls aged between five and 19 years, by 2023, and use cricket as a means to positively engage young people in promoting good health and education.
