United Purpose: Pathways to BRiDGES

In coastal Kenya, over 80% of adolescent girls are not in education, employment or training and live in absolute poverty. Early marriage, lack of sexual and reproductive health education, early pregnancy, gender-based violence and other harmful practices, such as widow inheritance, compound their disadvantage. Building on a previous grant, this programme will deliver a holistic football programme to at-risk girls and young women that aims to increase their awareness of their sexual and reproductive health and rights, and support them to get an education and/or employment. It will also work with young men, community leaders, teachers and health clinics to address discriminatory attitudes.
