More about Using Cricket to empower and give a voice to girls in the male-dominated Maasai Community.
Maasai Cricket Ladies Team aims to coach Maasai Ladies to play cricket and using it as a tool to educate about equality and a healthy society through sports. It is aimed at helping ladies to play cricket and help their fellow girls to realise their rights as they play this beautiful game. We understand that we need a lasting change for our people. We can do this by using sports especially as a tool of transformation and eradication of Female Genital Mutilation and gender discrimination in our societies. We know that we hold the key to that desired positive change and development. But we cannot do it alone. We need you to push and pull us to make us strong and equipped enough to help our societies. This is the only sustainable way for us to protect the integrity of our people and gain the desired positive change for the survival of humanity.
