Girls football project launched: bringing the girl effect to Ndhiwa

Girls /women’s football has arrived  in Ndhiwa thanks to a new project initiated by NCEDP & Team Kenya.

Nicholas, Lorraine and Lillian recently visited the very successful Moving the Goalposts project in Mombassa and are planning to work in partnership to set up a similar scheme in Ndhiwa using football to help  tackle gender disparities

Moving the Goalposts Kilifi (MTGK) uses local and youth centred approaches to tackle issues ensuring girls’ participation as leaders and decision makers. 

The project uses football to develop essential life skills – confidence, leadership, self esteem – of vulnerable young women. Football also provides a unique entry point for reproductive health, human rights and economic empowerment initiatives

We need  sponsors , supporters, managers, coaches, kit, and of course balls! Interested? Know any one that can help ?

Why girls ? check out the girl effect website and watch an amazing video which will change the way you think . www.girleffect.org  Improve a girl’s life and many more lives benefit: her brothers, sisters, parents and beyond. As an educated mother, an active citizen and an ambitious entrepreneur, or prepared employee, she can break the cycle of poverty.
