Girls Tournament
The 3rd annual Wasichana Wacheze (Let Girls play) Top 8 football tournament finals came at a time when Kenya was entangled in a political turmoil and presidential election crossroads. As a warm up and to set up a peaceful atmosphere, all the eight schools that advanced to the finals of Wasichana Wacheze including their teachers, coaches and community members took part in a peace procession walk in the streets of various estates and slum areas which are perceived to be hotbeds of violence. The teams took advantage of all the football skills and equipments at their disposal including whistles, banners and placards with peace messages to send a word of PEACE across the communities.
