Sponsor A Girl

Make a huge impact in the life of a Suba Laker by supporting her to attend secondary school!

THE FACTS: Secondary School in Kenya is not free and considered very expensive for most families. In the rural places where all the Suba Lakers come from, an average day's wage is around $2; less than $800 a year.  A decent secondary school costs at least $400 a year.  Hence, most families are unable to send all their children to secondary school and first priority usually goes to the boys in most families.  Because of their talent in football, many schools recruit our girls to attend their school to be a part of their football team.  Some schools even reduce the fees for these girls; kind of like a sports scholarship.  However, the fees are still too much for their families to pay.  

THE DREAM: The club desires to see every girl reach her full potential and obtain a quality education.  The Suba Lakers themselves want to change the statistics and help their families break the cycle of poverty.  The girls all have dreams for their future and it starts with them going to secondary school.

Your Impact:
For $30 a month, only $1 a day, your support will provide one of our girls with the opportunity to continue her education!  

Below are the girls who currently need a sponsor.  Email us to start your sponsorship and receive the full biography of your sponsored player. Learn about her family and her life.  All sponsors will receive a personal letter from their player at least twice a year.
