Healthy Communities
Championing Girls’ Right to Thrive, in Body and Mind
At Moving the Goalposts (MTG), we believe health is a fundamental right, not a privilege. Our Health Program is designed to ensure that every girl in our community has the knowledge, confidence, and access a healthy and dignified life.
We use the power of football to create safe spaces where girls can learn about their bodies, ask difficult questions, and challenge harmful norms. Our trained peer mentors lead honest, age-appropriate conversations on sexual and reproductive health, menstrual hygiene, mental well-being, gender-based violence, and more.
Our Impact
- Over 50,000 girls reached life-changing health information and services.
- Reduction in teenage pregnancy and increased uptake of reproductive health services.
- Communities that are slowly but steadily shifting away from silence and shame.
What We Do
Comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health Education
Girls aged 9–25 learn about their rights, bodies, contraception, healthy relationships, and consent.
Menstrual Health Management
We provide reusable sanitary products, information, and the confidence to break period stigma.
Community Health Dialogues
We engage parents, teachers, and community leaders to create a supportive, informed environment for adolescent girls.
Access to Services
We link girls to youth-friendly health services, including HIV testing, counselling, and referrals.
“When girls know their rights and understand their health, they are unstoppable.”
Join Us in Changing the Narrative
When a girl is educated, everything changes; for her, her family, and her community. Support our Education Program and help build a world where girls lead, learn, and rise.
