More about Girls & Football SA
Inclusion is our collective responsibility. This is exactly why Girls & Football SA focuses our efforts on ensuring we create a safe space for girls with any kind of ability. Our focus on People with Disabilities (PwD) and inclusion has been a priority since our founding: our workshops cater to different levels of ability, but most importantly: our morals, values and program reflect this.
Without a 360 degree approach to inclusion, our work is only half done. That is why our inclusion approach extends from beyond the football field, to the one tool all girls have access to - their mobile phone. With the launch of mGirls, our mobile health app, we have ensured every girl subscribed to our platform has access to health information. This means every girl is empowered by feeling included.
Through football based workshops, our mobile health campaign and an overall inclusion-centric approach, Girls & Football SA has changed the face of women's football in South Africa.
Over 3000 girls reached through workshops.
Over 30 coaches trained in gender sensitive workshops.
Over 63,000 girls subscribed to our mobile health app.
Just wait and see what else we're capable of.
