Overview
Komera will work in Kayonza District in the Eastern province of rural Rwanda addressing the most pressing issues facing adolescent girls. They will use a football based curriculum to challenge gender norms in primary schools, will use community runs to engage and bring local people together to challenge the gender stereotypes that exist around females engaging in sport, alongside messaging around gender based violence and sexual and reproductive health. They will provide direct support to the most vulnerable and marginalised teen mothers through a community based mentorship program.
