Dear Supporter,
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to empower young Chitrali girls through sports and your contributions to Chitral Women's Sports Club.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our traning programmes for coaches had to be rescheduled for the end of 2021. The ever changing situation continues to affect programme implementation but we continuously look for ways to keep girls engaged in one way or the other.
If the situation eases down, we will host a tournament in Chitral where both boys and girls will participate. We believe it is important for boys to participate in activities with girls so that they learn to respect and treat girls and women as equals.
Separately, suicide rates have dramatically increased in Chitral. Therefore, we have started a collaboration with humanitarian optimism psychosocial education to conduct therapy sessions for local women and girls.
Our work with Al Zahra Polestar School Chitral continues. Now, sports is not only part of their curriculum but they actively try to engage more children in their programmes.
Our top priority is the health of the girls and young women we serve. Thank you for standing up with Chitral Womens Sports Club in these difficult times. Together, we stand for a more inclusive society.
