Goal4Equality

Project description:

Goal for Equality focuses on promoting empowerment through football for girls and women coming from marginalised communities, and is built on a unique partnership that aims to use sport as a means of education and empowerment. After a careful analysis of existing programs for empowerment and social inclusion through sport of girls and women in their countries, the partnership worked together to identify and promote an innovative approach that leverages the power of football to educate and develop the skills of young girls and women. Each partner’s expertise and experience will contribute to the success of the project and set a positive example for other organisations. The project is rooted in the communities it serves, with local activities taking place in sports clubs, schools, NGOs, and other organisations that work with young women from marginalised communities. This approach ensures that the project is responsive to the needs and interests of the target group and increases its chances of success. Integrating sport for skills development program and education through sport, the project combines skills development through football providing a fun and engaging experience for the young women, but also helps to increase their knowledge and understanding of the sport. Partners in the project are Healthy Life Association – Kinezis and ZFK Mashinac.

Support: FIFA, GIZ and led by LaGuilde.
