About Green Kenya

The organization has a wide array of active programs: Community Impact Project is a sport for social change concept that addresses United Nations Sustainable development goal UNSDGs every month through soccer themed sessions. The program runs for seven months in primary schools during physical education lessons. The sessions are conducted by professionals called Community Impact Coaches. Green-Kenya’s target is to ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life. The program promotes health, safety, education and leadership of girls at the grassroots level, and builds a community of passionate advocates who talk freely about challenges and issues facing the girl child.
