To achieve its charitable purpose, the Foundation delivers the following core programs:

Inclusive Cricket Access Program (formerly Cricket Hubs)
A structured, no-cost cricket program specifically targeted at children and young people experiencing disadvantage, particularly those whose disadvantage arises from low socio-economic family status, belonging to a culturally and linguistically diverse community or who otherwise have limited access to the health benefits of organised sport. The program is designed to remove financial, cultural, and social barriers to participation by providing equipment, coaching, and safe, inclusive environments

In 2018 over 300 youngsters participated in the UKF Cricket program across 5 HUBs (4 in NSW and 1 in QLD).

  • In 2019, the ‘Chance to Shine Cricket’ saw 814 participants register as the program expanded to 14 HUBS across NSW, QLD and the ACT.

  • In 2020-21 no programs were conducted due to COVID-19.

  • In 2022 in partnership with Cricket Australia, the Usman Khawaja Foundation saw over 1200 participants register for free cricket programs across Australia.

  • In 2023 in partnership with Cricket Australia, the Usman Khawaja Foundation saw over 2600 participants register for free cricket programs across Australia.

Education and Development Support

The Foundation provides children and young people who experience disadvantage with complementary educational and personal development support, including scholarships, mentoring, academic assistance, and life skills development, with the objective of improving their educational engagement and long-term outcomes.

The support offered in collaboration with aligned partners includes a combination of one or more of the following items:

  • Stationary Vouchers

  • Uniform Vouchers

  • School Fees Vouchers

  • iPads/Laptops

  • Sports Apparel, Shoes and Equipment

The above assistance will help recipients realize their potential and full their dreams as future leaders of Australian Society.

Our Educational Support is only made possible by the generosity of our partners and their commitment to closing the opportunity gap and engage in efforts to improve educational equity.
