Programs: Our sport revolution girls project has gained success through moderate and measurable growth. Our program comprises of four broad activity groups: health promotion, sports programs, arts and crafts, and educational services. Within each group, we have developed age-appropriate activities. Health promotion we have developed an atmosphere where many of our participants are less afraid to speak of sensitive topics such as hiv/aids, sexual abuse, rape and prostitution. We provide crucial health and hygiene products such as sanitary napkins and underwear, which allow our girls to stay in school during their menstrual cycle. Our participants have also benefitted from our clothing drives, which have clothed over 100 girls with secondhand clothing.
