Saturday 28th August was the beginning of emancipation, the beginning of an era of young girls ruling the Nairobi soccer scene. About 160 girls living in the slums of Nairobi came together in a launch that will see the Sadili-managed SISTERHOOD WORLD CUP events curtains open for the first time ever. The Under 16 tournament which has already attracted more than 13 top junior teams shall be played at the Sadili Soccer Academy grounds starting at 8:30 am. 5 ASIDE STREET SOCCER is not only interesting to watch but also played with feeling. Skilled girls making swift runs, insightful passes and endless strength and beauty were some of the qualities on display this Saturday.
HIV/AIDS TEACHING took place, Liverpool VCT volunteers were at hand to provide the young girls with the best of information in regard to Prevention, Protection and Control of HIV/AIDS. Lunch and refreshments were served in celebration of the beginning of this series of events that aims at not only improving soccer standards within girls in Kibera but also instilling the best of Life skills in them. This project was sponsored by King Baudouin Foundation and Nike Red.
