This is the third report of project "Help Empower Afghan Girls through Sports". By implementing this project, we aim to prevent girls from harassment in public places, workplace and schools in order to enjoy their social life as equal humans as boys. Our intervention is engaging girls in sports activities and specifically organizing girls’ volleyball tournament of around 16 teams. As reported earlier, CPD is thinking of finding the ways to transform the project from being a onetime activity (girl volleyball tournament) into a recurrent action extended to years to come. In consideration to the changes brought to the initial planning, project was revised and approved by GlobalGiving. To raise required financial resources for the project, it became part of different crowd-funding campaigns of the GlobalGiving (including Christmas Giving 50% match).
We have been focused on raising needed financial resources to sponsor the tournament since mid-2016. However, the crowdfunding results are not as per our expectation, but still, we can claim that the basic funds to organize at least one tournament is raised and sticking to the voluntarism nature of our organization, the CPD, we are confident to launch the process.
Our negotiations with Department of Education (DoE) of Kabul city is still going on and we hope to have the final schedule of girls’ volleyball tournament as soon as possible. Logistical plan of the tournament is drafted by the CPD that will be shared with Kabul DoE authorities in the upcoming joint planning meetings. Identification of 16 girl volleyball teams based on their qualification is also part of the planning meetings. Worth to mention that qualification phase is started among different schools of Kabul city that will lead to rank top teams eligible to compete with each other in the tournament.
