Our First Tournament for Girls!

We are so thrilled to be planning our first Amahoro tournament for girls!  During our previous tournaments, many girls showed up to support their brothers.  Ezechiel and his team have been working on organizing these local girls into teams.  It is our plan to make girls soccer a permanent event for the promotion of reconciliation in Burundi.  Extending soccer skills to the girls will empower them to push themselves to claim their rights in society, fight against injustices, stand against violence, and stand for peace and equality.
