Activities
1. HIV training for 40 girls: increase knowledge and understanding of HIV prevention and services.
2. Peer education sessions with groups of girl footballers: increased knowledge and confidence contribute to reduction in teenage pregnancies

Project Message
If it wasn’t for MTG I would probably be a single parent by now: it is very difficult to find a girl of my age at 20 years who is not in school who doesn’t have a baby.

Latest Update from the Field
thanks for funding project
By sarah forde - director M&E, April 21, 2008 06:21 PM
Thanks from Kilifi for supporting this project! MTG now has 45 trained peer educators, all young women football players. The peer educators hold sessions on many topics such as reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. They visit schools and every Saturday they are found at football pitches providing information and social support to girls who play football.
Good news on the pitch, too, MTG Under 13s won the Mathare Youth Sports Association international tournament in Nairobi in April 2008. See picture below. Keep an eye on Global Giving for the next MTG project for funding.
