90 Days of Impact: Girls Leading Through Play

By Cindy Jade Seares | Communications Manager

Empowering girls, one game at a time

Dear Supporters,

As we close the year this December, we look back with gratitude on the past 90 days of impact made possible by your support. Together, we created safe, empowering spaces where girls could play, learn, and lead with confidence. Through sport, mentorship, and protection-focused learning, girls strengthened not only their skills on the field, but also their voices, leadership, and sense of agency within their communities.

Here are some of the milestones from the past 90 days:

65 after-school football and futsal sessions held in Tacloban and Dulag, integrating play-based learning on malnutrition, child protection, and environmental awareness.
11 mentorship sessions facilitated, boosting emotional well-being, self-awareness, and confidence in healthy decision-making.
3 tournaments organized, showcasing girls’ skills, teamwork, and leadership.
400 sets of jerseys and uniforms distributed to celebrate commitment and positive values.
15 play kits (futsal balls) given to girls’ teams to enhance training and tournament preparation.
77 learning packs provided, recognizing youth contributions to climate action and community leadership.
9 WASH kits distributed, supporting hygiene, dignity, and wellbeing.
10 girls and non-binary participants received futsal training shoes for leadership and positive values.
340 children and youth reached through capacity-building on Child Rights, Digital Safety, and preventing online harm.
57 girl leaders convened at EmpowerHer: Girls Leadership Camp, celebrating the International Day of the Girl Child with sessions on leadership, resilience, and digital responsibility.

These milestones are possible because of your continued support. Beyond the numbers, the true impact shines through in the courage, confidence, and leadership of the girls we serve — young changemakers shaping their futures and communities with hope and determination.

Here’s to the next 90 days — and to the girls leading the way.

Happy Holidays, and we look forward to continuing this impact with you next year!

With gratitude,
The Girls Got This Team

90 Days of Impact: Confidence & Opportunity

By Cindy Jade Seares | Communications Manager

Move for Play 2025: Running for every child

Dear Supporters,

Over the past 90 days, Girls Got This has continued to create safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces for children and youth. Our programs have provided opportunities for girls to not only learn and play, but also to build resilience, develop leadership, and strengthen their voices within their communities.

This period has been filled with growth, determination, and impact. With the support of mentors, schools, and community partners, we expanded opportunities for adolescent girls to thrive — both on the pitch and beyond. Each activity reinforced our commitment to ensuring every girl has the tools and confidence to shape her own future.

Here are some of the milestones from the past 90 days:

149 after-school football and futsal sessions held in Tacloban and Dulag, integrating life skills like teamwork, empathy, resilience, and community responsibility.
15 mentorship sessions facilitated, providing guidance on health, study habits, and career development.
11 Champion Sessions delivered, inspiring 200+ girls through the stories of local female leaders who modeled courage and leadership.
3 futsal festivals organized, reaching 400+ young people and opening pathways for top players to participate in larger city-wide competitions.
6 capacity-building workshops conducted for youth mentors, teachers, and community leaders on enterprise skills, first aid, and sustainability practices.
One girl-led livelihood venture launched, supported with mentorship and seed funding, providing her family with income and inspiring her peers with a real example of girl-driven entrepreneurship.
Partnership secured with the Department of Education for the 2026 Girls Community League – Schools Edition, ensuring inclusive sports for more than 200 adolescent girls in its pilot phase.

These milestones are possible because of your unwavering support. Beyond the numbers, the true impact shines through in the courage and confidence of the girls we serve — young leaders who are shaping their futures and communities with hope and determination.

Here’s to the next 90 days — and to the girls leading the way.

With gratitude,

90 Days of Purpose, Progress, and Possibility

By Cindy Jade Seares | Communications Manager

Strengthening Youth Voices on Mental Health

Dear Supporters,

2025 has begun with strong intention, and in just 90 days, Girls Got This and FundLife has already made remarkable progress — both metaphorically and, most importantly, through the collective power of purpose and community.

We’re thrilled to share the latest updates from the first quarter of 2025, highlighting the meaningful strides we’ve made alongside the girls and young women we serve. From January to March, our team has been dedicated to delivering safe, inclusive, and empowering programs that go beyond play — creating real opportunities for learning, leadership, and growth.

Thanks to your unwavering support, we’ve been able to reach more youth, amplify more voices, and deepen the impact of our work in communities that need it most.

Below are some key milestones from January to March 2025, showcasing the accomplishments of the girls and young women involved in FundLife’s Girls Got This initiatives:

Conducted 103 after-school futsal sessions integrating topics on menstrual hygiene, teenage pregnancy prevention, and water sanitation and conservation.
Facilitated 23 mentorship sessions focused on personal development, teenage pregnancy prevention, and personal identity.
Held two “Champion Sessions,” reaching 150+ girls and spotlighting inspiring stories of the Philippines’ first Olympic gold medalist in weightlifting and Miss Universe 2018.
Organized 2 futsal tournaments for under-13 and under-20 girls, engaging 200 highly vulnerable adolescent participants.
Delivered a capacity-building session on safeguarding, gender equity, and inclusive sports programming to over 50 youth leaders, barangay officials, and coaches.
Co-led a Women’s Month celebration with 200+ participants, including BCPC representatives, Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) officers, and youth leaders.
Produced and distributed 200 copies of EIC materials on the VAWC Law for women and youth community partners.
Mobilized over 1,200 women and gender equity advocates through the “Move for Equity” campaign.

While the numbers reflect our progress, the true impact lives in the confidence gained, the choices empowered, and the voices of girls who are shaping their own futures.

Here’s to the girls leading change — and to everything still ahead.

With Gratitude,

GGT Team,
