More about Red card against social exclusion
Started in 2007, the association through its "red card against social exclusion" allows young men and women (particularly girls) from middle to meet various workshop and field to share experiences, deploy talent and raise awareness among people about the taboo subjects especially those relating to the exclusion of the right of girls to the sport.
The project has its originality through specific targeting that is worn on the female. One of the first initiatives in Burkina Faso, it helps to educate and sensitize people on very specific topics through the creation of teams known as "neighborhoods" that are supervised by the association. These teams compete later on land through a tournament which brings together policy makers for a plea. The coaching staff is always provided by the two opposite sexes to witness the inclusion of gender in this project.
