Futurestars Charity has announced a new partnership with the Rugby League Federation Ghana (RLFG) to help young, underprivileged children through education and sports. The organizations have signed an agreement to provide scholarships, mentorship and sports opportunities.  

Students who play rugby league with RLFG and those in Futurestars Charity partner schools will receive school support, financial help, learning materials and guidance to help them. Futurestars Charity will provide scholarships covering school fees, uniforms, books and meals, while RLFG will train and guide the students in rugby league, giving them more opportunities in the sport.  

John Boyd has been selected as the first student to receive a Futurestars Charity scholarship through rugby league. 

Simon Militon, director of Futurestars Charity, commented: “We believe that education and sports go hand in hand. This partnership with RLFG will help children reach their full potential both in the classroom and on the rugby field. We are very happy to support John and many more children in the future, his passion for learning and sports makes him the perfect choice.”  

John’s mother, Victoria, noted: “This is a dream come true for my son. I have always wanted him to do well in school, but things have not been easy. Now, with this scholarship, he can continue his education and still play the sport he loves. I am so grateful to Futurestars Charity and RLFG for giving him this chance.”  

RLFG general manager, Jafaru Awudu Mustapha, noted: “This partnership will make sure talented children get the education they deserve while growing in the sport. This partnership is a big step toward helping them build a better future.”
