Moving the Goalposts Kilifi (MTGK) uses the power of football to promote athleticism and leadership among young women and girls, and to inform them about anti-discrimination, children’s rights, education, health and other social issues. All activities are organised by the girls themselves and follow the principles of peer education. MTGK’s aim is to help empower young women to break from the cycle of poverty. At present MTGK works with over 2,000 players.

MTGK offers a range of programmes, including the Football, Leadership and Lifeskills Project and the Coach the Coach programme. Other projects address issues such as reproductive health and provide young women with the skills they need to set up and run their own small businesses.
