Our first 2011 Girls League took place in February and March in partnership with the Brazil Kenya Football League, opening a new platform for the Sisterhood World Cup to a wider community. The league focused mainly on girls from within Kibera and took place at Sadili Sports for Life grounds in Kibera, taking the football and workshops in HIV Awareness right into the community. New sports messaging techniques were employed by our women youth leaders, which was open to all the 144 players from 8 teams and 312 attending spectators who had 63% men and boys! We used this as a special opportunity to talk about sexual practices at an early age, STDs and their effect on fertility in Kibera. Radio Jambo, Kenya’s number one radio station, was on hand throughout the period to interview girls to give personal stories and also provide the public with “blow by blow” accounts of the matches. Opportunities for question and answer sessions were also provided through the station. The preliminaries, semis and finals therefore had a direct impact on more than 2 million Kenyans who were able to listen and 18 had the opportunity chat directly and ask questions during the shows. 12 girls, 2 female organisers, 1 male coach and 2 female coaches were interviewed. By the way, two female coaches out of 12? Wazzup with that? Why men men and men......something to think about!
