Apiwhe has been a football player for two years. She always practices with her brothers but hasn’t had the opportunity to play sports the way they do.
Where she lives in Kayamandi, South Africa, there’s not even a league for girls. That’s why we work with girls like Apiwhe. We want to make sure she has an equal opportunity to participate, both on and off the field.
When a girl plays sports, she is more likely to perform better in school.
When she performs better in school, she is less likely to become pregnant as a teenager. She makes healthier choices, is more likely to have a high self-esteem and contributes positively to society.
