Girls and women in Kilifi District, Kenya are some of the world's poorest and most disadvantaged people. Low retention in school, early and unwanted pregnancies and vulnerability to HIV/AIDS trap them in a cycle of poverty. Moving the Goalposts Kilifi (MTGK) uses local and youth centred approaches to tackle these issues
ensuring girls' participation as leaders and decision makers. MTGK aims to promote football excellence, youth leadership, reproductive health rights and economic empowerment. As part of this, the organisation is embarking on a project to provide girls and women with affordable sanitary pads, which will not only make this necessity more affordable, but also be an incomegenerating project for young women soccer players.
