Chipata Girls FC

Safeguarding

The club exists for children, so child protection governs everything.

This is not optional and not negotiable. A donation is never worth a child’s safety or dignity.

Consent first, always

No child’s name, face, or story is published without informed consent from her and her guardian. Consent can be withdrawn, and we honour it.

Do no harm with a story

We never publish anything — a location, a detail, an image — that could expose a girl to risk, ridicule, or a marriage she’s trying to avoid. When in doubt, we leave it out.

Dignity over dollars

If a more exploitative telling of a story would raise more money, we tell the less exploitative one and raise less. Every time.

She is more than her hardship

We show her playing, laughing, learning — not only the worst day of her life. The whole girl, not the wound.

Accountable adults

Coaches and mentors are known, vetted where possible, and accountable. Safeguarding is named here so families and funders can see we take it seriously.

The money route

Every gift is processed securely on the external checkout run by Statloba For Good, our 501(c)(3) partner, and is tax-deductible for US donors. This club and this website never ask for or handle card details.
