The girls are taught via the means of football fundamental life skills such as interpersonal communication, teamwork, resilience, etc. and boost their self-confidence. Acquainted them with functions of digital devices and computer literacy, such as emails, using the internet, cyber security do’s-and-don’ts and using various video conferencing platforms, etc. We also work to increase health and hygiene awareness in the girls through our menstrual hygiene management program. The participation of girls in sports also challenges gender stereotypes and promotes gender equality to fight discrimination against girls. The ultimate goal of the project is to increase girls’ confidence and empower them to become women leaders so that they can inspire other girls in their quest for independence and a brighter future. The empowerment of women will also make an enormous contribution to public life and community development, empowering one girl will empower her family as well as her society. |
