Über das Projekt
Through the football we support our girls to stand up for themselves and say NO to the harmful cultural practices; a team of volunteer girls will help lead the sessions and coach the girls not just in football but also life skill sessions for 2 days a week. HODI will reach out to 100 girls in school and 50 girls out of school. The girls who have dropped out or are at the verge of dropping out are offered support for education which entails payment of fees, uniforms, books and personal effects like soap, pads among others. The skills training for those out of school is in professional tailoring course which is for child mothers who are not accepted at home either due to pregnancy or divorce. This is accompanied by counseling to help the girls facing rejection. In some instances the girls are from poor families whose parents cannot afford fees for high school. Life skill sessions will also be offered to girls in and out of school reaching another 150 girls. As an organization we are faced with the challenges of having our girls play in the community fields because of cultural restrictions and norms. Our girls have been scolded and beaten because of turning up for the life skill sessions and football training. HODI has acquired a 1.5acres of land to build a safe space for the girls rescued from FGM, early forced marriages and beading. We still lack resources to build the structure which we hope to put up by 2014. We need your support to help the girls of Marsabit be safe from the harmful cultural practices and above all have a voice and a choice in Life.
