To teach jump rope to children in Tanzania and Kenya, using it as a means of fostering confidence, teamwork, and leadership, and to provide an infrastructure in which participants can succeed, develop healthy lifestyles, take on leadership roles and strengthen social ties.

Reason:
Saw it in the NY Times blog today and found it compelling.
