Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Teenage girls in coastal Kenya lack opportunities in education and employment and have very few chances to become leaders. MTG creates opportunities for such girls and has been selected to take part in the Football for Hope Festival 2010 due to its excellent commitment and track record in the field of Development through Football. This will be a chance for girls to play on the global stage and show people their potential which they rarely get the chance to reach.
