Sports
We work within local communities at the grassroots and use sports as a tool to challenge gender norms and create safe spaces for girls to explore their full potential. Wins on the field translate into wins off the field – one leading to another. Girls build their self-esteem, agency, and decision-making abilities and try things they never assumed were possible.
