Girls' Soccer Team

Togetherness Cooperative girls

Soccer continues to be a primary and healthy focus for the orphans in Togetherness Cooperative.

We are so excited that the girls of Togetherness have formed a team! They may not have shoes or uniforms, but these young women are passionate and committed to succeeding.

They and the four boys' teams must play on a small, lumpy, steeply slanted field. When asked what small business is of most interest, the answer that comes quickly is: improving their soccer field so they can rent it out and become a soccer hub. Interestingly, a local government leader shared with me that this is a great need in the area and that they have appreciated the benefit of the field even in its current rough condition. 

The field is rough and slanted
