Moving the Goalposts is going to South Africa!

Moving the Goalposts Kilifi is one of the 32 organizations that have been chosen to participate in the Football for Hope Festival. MTG empowers girls in Kilifi, Ganze and Kaloleni district through football.
More than three thousand girls (aged 9 – 25 years) participate in MTG tournaments and ongoing leagues. Girls are encouraged to be active in leadership roles and take part in a peer led health education program which gives them information on reproductive health and rights.

MTG has selected its delegation to go to South Africa. The MTG delegation members (four boys and four girls) are selected not only for their skill on the football pitch but also for their personal achievements and contributions to helping their own communities.
The MTG delegation members are:
Mbeyu Esse Akida, Fathime Khamisi, Rehema Ibrahim, Sarah Kitsao, Abdallah Angore, Philip Mwangi, Azidin Salim and Mohammed Hamad.
Coach: Clarice Mrengi
Young Leader: Lilian Mbeyu
Delegation leader: Mr. Damigott John Migot.
This team will intensify its preparations in April.

From this week on well-wishers can support the MTG delegation  also through M-PESA.
