MTG started with a sport and development project in Kilifi in 2001. Many people could see that there were huge gender differences being experienced by men and women and boys and girls in Kilifi in terms of opportunities in school, health, leadership roles and employment. We thought that if we took a new approach – using football to tackle gender disparities – we might be able to get to the heart of some of the problems faced by girls and women in Kilifi. So with a small amount of seed funding from the British Council the project was set up with advice and support from Moving the Goalposts UK (a registered charity in the UK). More girls started to play football in and out of school, participating in tournaments organized by MTG. Now, eight years later there are over 3,000 players whereas in 2001 when the project started there were just 120. MTG has branched out with a reproductive health rights, HIV and AIDS programme, has established participatory monitoring and evaluation in all projects and is most recently started an economic empowerment project.
