New Year's Eve, Zanzibar โ Jacob with the borrowed saw at sunset
One chance meeting. One borrowed saw. One game made from firewood on a beach. And now an entire community in Tanzania has been changed by it. That's the Smite Effect โ Smite has a way of spreading itself, person to person, smile to smile, wherever it lands.
โ Roger Daniel, founder of Smite
We stayed in touch when we returned to the UK. Now with the help of the profits from the annual North of England Smite Championships, we are now supporting Jacob directly โ funding materials so he can keep making sets by hand and taking them into schools and orphanages across Tanzania.
These children have nothing. They have been introduced to a game like nothing else they have ever experienced. It’s teaching them maths. It’s teaching them how to play together. It’s teaching them that play matters. And the smiles say everything that words can’t.
