All Girls Deserve a Chance, is a community based sports program established in 2007 to support and further develop the participation of girls in active organised sports programs.
In Africa where Uganda is not an exception, girls are traditionally kept in the kitchen & more associated to domestic chores such as fetching water, food, firewood, digging, cooking, washing utensils and looking after their siblings. While boys are offered greater opportunities to explore the world around them through community sports activities. Gender based violence is in-built in African Culture, exposing girls to exploitation, early marriages, abuse, low school enrollment & high HIV rates.
The project exists to create a girls safer and friendly environment through which, girls can explore their hidden sporting talents, learn about health issues such as HIV/AIDS, Teen pregnancy and participate in economic empowerment projects.
The long term project is to empower girls through sport and education to improve their rights, break barriers between social classes, reduce gender based violence, enhance unity and reconciliation, boost self-confidence and prevent HIV/AID
All my life, i did not know that girls can play football like boys do. Days are gone!
