AGUSA
Africa Girls United Soccer Academy
Global Partnership
AGUSA was established in 2019 as a partnership between soccer players, coaches and families in the Washington, DC area and the Khwisero Sports Academy in Kakamega County, Kenya.
Originally formed in 2001 as a school-based sports program, the Khwisero Sports Academy officially launched in 2016 to meet growing community needs and interest. They currently serve hundreds of regional young athletes including 240 girls from nine local schools, 190 of which are soccer players.
Our mission is to support these promising young girls in Africa by providing resources and promoting gender equality and women's empowerment through sport.
How You Can Help
Unfortunately, there are fewer opportunities for young girls to play sports in Africa and access to resources can be limited when compared to those available to African boys.
We want to support these young female players by helping to create a more hopeful future for them. Soccer builds confidence, teaches teamwork and fosters a strong work ethic which will give them the necessary tools to pursue lifelong achievement.
We are collecting donations which will provide gender appropriate clothing for practice sessions, uniforms for games, training equipment and other resources to assist in both individual player and team development.
Player Development
Building self-esteem through individual coaching, encouragement and nuturing.
Competition
Creating new opportunities to compete against local teams during the regular season and regional tournaments.
Team Training
Learning the technical aspects of the game through team-focused activities and strategic instruction.
Make a Difference!
Make a positive impact in the lives of these young female soccer players in Africa.
Every donation counts!
