I will live to cherish the moment I joined Moving The Goalposts’ Executive Director to receive the prestigious Laureus Sport for Good award in Germany 2016. I became very proud of who Iam.

I knew that this award was for Moving The Goalposts, our community and the girls who always participate in Moving The Goalposts program with the desire to change their lives. 

During the ceremony, I met and interacted with famous people like David Rudisha; who is a world record holder in athletics, he really motivated me and I came to realize that sport is a way of achieving ones dream.

I had travelled to Germany in 2011 to play friendly matches accompanied by “Auma Obama” a sister to the former American president; Honorable Barack Obama.  Being around her made me feel that the sky is no longer a limit for girls and young Women in the world.

I strongly believe that girls and young women should not be subjected to any form of violence and abuse. I learnt this after being informed about my rights by Moving The Goalposts and learnt skills to claim them.

 I feel confident to condemn violence and champion for equality. I can stand and take action, educate others especially girls and women against violation of their rights and the importance of educating a girl child in the community.

I am always convinced that what a man can do, a woman can do better, and educating a girl is like educating the whole nation.
