Support YST International

BILD is our flagship programme which has been used to empower young people in Ghana, Tanzania and St Lucia. A new BILD in Malawi is underway and this is where we need your help.

With your donations, fundraising and support, you can contribute to our £400,000 target so we can transform the lives of thousands of young people in Malawi.

Here’s a snapshot of what’s been achieved so far thanks to your support...

BILD Ghana has reached 303,000 young people of all economic backgrounds, abilities and genders
BILD Tanzania empowered over 1,900 women to take part in sport
A total of 20 sports festivals have taken place through the BILD programme, involving a total of 10,523 young people.

These incredible impacts wouldn’t be possible without the amazing support of our donors. Whether you run a marathon, fundraise by having a cake sale or just simply donate – your generosity helps us continue to improve the life changes of young people through BILD.
