Help girls at Intiwawa start a Football Team

Dear all,

Intiwawa was born to socially empower low-income families in communities which face high levels of child labor and domestic violence. The NGO helps families in a rural area of Arequipa, Peru by breaking the cycle of poverty, mainly through education.

Last year, this initiative had as an objective the formation of an all-girls football team. All of the girls agree that having the opportunity to train and play against other teams in Arequipa has been one of the best experiences of their lives. They brought smiles and laughter to each and every game - and they don’t want to stop here.

Here are some of their statements:

“We loved being able to play against other teams, because no matter our losses we were always happy and laughing it off… every time we fell, we got up, all together”

Yoselyn & Nohemy

“At the beginning there were conflicts but by the end we were united, a real team. Because we understood that communication and respect within the team are essential to win”

Ruth

Please help us by continue funding this initiative, so the girls can continue to increase their self esteem, play, train and have fun all together this year.
