| The word “girl” grounds us in our work. It reminds us that every KGSA student deserves the chance to learn, feel safe, discover her strengths and imagine her own future. This International Day of the Girl, we’re celebrating some Remarkable Sisters who have passed through the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy. |
| Rachael, Lydia and Joyce Rachael recently graduated from Strathmore University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. Her younger sisters Joyce (Class of 2023) and Lydia (Class of 2024) are both studying to be teachers – pictured below. Joyce especially has been a source of guidance and encouragement to her sisters. All three are ambitious young women, building futures made possible through education.  |
| Rose and Pauline You may remember Remarkable Rose, whose determination to play soccer helped inspire the story told in Ellie Roscher’s children’s book. Today, Rose is an Assistant Coach on the women’s soccer team, while her sister Pauline has become the first female coach of KGSA’s soccer team! They’re helping create opportunities for the next generation of girls to play and lead.  |
| Across 20 years, KGSA’s story has grown to include 500 graduates, alongside the 150 girls learning and living at the school today. Your generosity helps turn opportunities in girlhood into possibilities that last well beyond graduation. A classroom. A college degree. A coaching position. And younger sisters who can see what’s possible. Thank you for being part of their stories. |
