Did you know that sport can be a catalyst for education and empowerment? In Benue State, too many girls miss out on both. Limited recreational opportunities, social expectations, and insecurity all conspire to keep girls out of school.
Keep Girls in School Through Sports turns this around. Our project offers 300 vulnerable girls a chance to participate in structured sports, academic encouragement, and life-changing mentoring. Through the Makurdi Green Cup, we help girls stay engaged, motivated, and safe.
The need is urgent. Every girl who drops out is a lost leader, a lost future. Your donation brings immediate hope—training teachers, equipping teams, and building lasting support networks.
When you give, you’re not just funding football—you’re investing in education, leadership, and lifelong wellbeing. Help us create a world where every girl can learn, play, and succeed. Donate now—be the difference.
