Call for Support; I am a sHERO: Second Edition -Skill Up Master Session & the First Girls Football U13 – U15 Tournament.

Project Overview




I'm a sHERO, is a platform that advocates for better terms of engagement for girls / women in sports. The platform seeks to inspire young girls in sports starting with football which is one of the popular games played at the underserved grassroots communities. We want restore the hope and dignity of girls / women playing football through training and mentorship. 

We hope our intervention will create a lasting ripple effect of self-awareness that would lead into more responsible lifestyle. 

Who is a sHERO?

In our own definition a sHERO is a woman of excellence who aspires to do more, be more and be different in creating their own meaning of success whilst helping others find meaningful pathways towards whatever they desire to become in future. Her passion and dedication is to achieve more beyond self while also helping others women /girls in their transitions through sharing life experiences, skills and knowledge. 

The sHERO advocates for more and better engagement for the girl child without any biasness towards the opposite gender. 

 The Problem We Seek to Address 

 Young girls between the ages of U12 - U18 who play football in underserved neighborhoods lack the appropriate attitude, skills, and knowledge to protect themselves from abuse. Furthermore, they are unable to take advantage of the chances that sport and education together can offer. 





Project Objectives 
  1.  Explain the importance of pursuing education and sports. 
  2.  Understand threats that surrounds their well-being. 
  3. Understand the football ecosystem in Kenya. 
  4. Help the participants through a self-discovery process (Self Made) and how to build positive relationships. 
Expected Outcome 
  •  Knowledgeable girls on issues on Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). 
  • Improved self-awareness and esteem. 
  • Informed choices (Football & Education) 
The proof of concept – Case Study 

The proof of concept for the initiative is built on the experiences of my sisters Kate and Esther, who I've helped develop personally, professionally, and as football players. I've been their defender and pillar of fortitude ever since our parents died when they were still young. 

Their personal growth, outlook on life, and conception of success have all undergone major changes as a result of my mentoring. I think we can safeguard a lot of girls from underprivileged areas while also assisting them in defining their pathways to success. 

 Our Mission 

 To impart different life values, philosophies, and conduct various training to the next generation through more organized, timely, and intentional activities.  My sisters are co-founders of the I am a sHERO, She Can project, and I would adore to assist them in reaching as many girls as possible through the Wilsen initiative (Wi) platform.
