Girls empowerment through sport.
This is a girl’s empowerment through sport program that aims at empowering girls by training and equipping them with skills and knowledge to pursue equality. It strives to empower girls by building physical resources, giving social recognition and challenging some traditional gender myths.

It’s because of the great work that EduSport has done with girls so far that the foundation won recognition on the international scene.
In 2002 EduSport was identified and recommended for its humanitarian efforts by using sport to curb the HIV/AIDS pandemic and was given a sum of $25,000 by Prince Hackon Magnus and Princess Mette Marit of Norway for girls projects.

This money was used to hold a big girls tournament and start a program for girls and run by girls.
The 1st tournament was held in 2002 with EMIMA from Tanzania taking part. Since then this event has been annual
2007 Go Sisters! tournament.
Last years girls tournament was successfully held in Luisaka from the 17th though to 19th of September. The event that drew a number of teams from less privilidged communities, attracted teams from six(6) provinces. The event was held at the University of Zambia(UNZA) sports grounds in Lusaka-Zambia

What Go Sistsers! say.
Empowerment means a chance to go back to school and have a sense of real hope for the future because in my community people respect real things.
