Our girls
The team is the thing that won’t let her disappear.
Over 100 girls train with us every week. Every one of them has a place, a position, and a season ahead of her — and every place on this team is tied to staying in school.
What a place on this team means
-
Belonging
Every girl in the shirt is one of ours — counted on, expected, and missed when she’s gone.
-
School is the point
A place on the team is tied to staying in school. If we ever had to choose between a win and a girl’s education, the education wins.
-
The safety net
When a girl stops showing up, someone goes to find out why — before a missed week becomes something worse.
-
Joy
It is football. It is meant to be the best part of the week. The mission never crowds out the fun.
The roster
Every one of them turns up because she loves it.
The main team
Young Chipata Girls
The younger squad — the girls coming up behind the main team, training on the same ground, coached by the same people.
Their photographs are still to come. The younger squad’s pictures have not reached us yet. They go up here as they arrive, on the same terms as everybody else on this page.
Who coaches them
The squad list is coming. We publish a player’s name, face, or story only with recorded consent from her and her guardian, and consent can be withdrawn at any time. That gate is built into this page: profiles appear here as those releases are recorded, one girl at a time, and never before. Read the safeguarding note.
The committee
The people who run it, and what each of them is responsible for.
A club that asks you to fund a girl’s school year should be able to tell you who handles the money, who orders the kit, and who to ask. These are those people. The coaches sit on the committee too — they are on this list and up with the squad they coach.
Keep one of them in school this year.
$30 keeps one girl in school for a month. $360 covers her whole school year. Four funds, every line costed — you pick which one your gift goes to.
