Something about us that you should know...

There’s a new awakening in Kenya’s girls soccer scene. This is seen in the rise in girls participation numbers, which has the desired effect of spurring public interest, consequently catching the eye of corporate sponsors. Indeed, recent trends indicate better sponsorship deals for top tier league teams which has in effect of improving both the league and national team’s competitiveness. This turn of events have prompted many to believe that our National women soccer team might outpace the men in making the country’s maiden appearance at a world cup event. At the grassroots level, where this aspiration can be shaped into reality, the picture is not quite as rosy as it is higher up. Poor planning sums up most girls soccer programs at the grassroots, leading many talented girls dropping off out of frustrations. Cheza Girls Team program of Cheza CBO intends to circumvent identified pitfalls and do its part to deliver this dream and most importantly steer our ladies to self sustainable adulthood.

Girls in our community drop out of school early to start families they can barely take care. of. This leads to frustrated lives and wasted potential. In Africa organized team soccer can be a potent tool for keeping girls in School especially in slums. The CBO seeks your support in setting up elite training exclusively for girls as young as 9 years.

Cheza Sports Academy launched the girls soccer mentorship program. The program targets less privileged girls of Mukuru slums between 11 and 23 years old, while using football as a tool of community development to:

1. Introduce the girls into proper football training regimes
2. Expose through competitions and leagues, evidently one of our alumni who is the Current South Sudanese International women's team captain, Amy Lasu benefitted greatly in our program between the years 2015 and 2018
3. Life skills and mentorship with invitation of successful women in careers different experience including the large pool of Cheza Sports parents
