The Soccer Divas will play for Goal 3 in Uganda on March 8th to celebrate women health and promote that women from all walks of life should have access to medical care and physical activities to prevent and treat disease like Breast Cancer.

Welcome to: Mishi Demu, Maureen Nafula, Janet Amunga, Linda Seda, Morless Rona, Mariam Katana, Prisca Wanda, Dorcas Kero.

Team Captain and host partner Mariam Mpaata is the founder of the Soccer Divas Club in Mombasa, Kenya, and have played in a GGWCup twice: GGWCup Nairobi 2017 and GGWCup Johannesburg 2018.

One memorable moment was taking an eight hour bus ride all the way from Mombasa to Nairobi. We giggled and laughed all the way. It was so refreshing for all of us. When we arrived, the best part was meeting all the other 27 teams advocating for the different Goals. Taking part in the GGWCup also gave our youngest player the zeal to master all the 17 Global Goals. The experience was indeed priceless.

Between the month of December to March, the team will:

  • Engage community work in talks regarding Breast Cancer.

  • Create Breast Cancer awareness through our social media platforms.

  • Encourage women to go the check ups.

  • Host physical exercises for the women like jogging, walking, and football.

How will the Team measure its actions, impact, and reach?

  • Through hosting breast cancer tournaments and following up on players. We have hosted the 5th edition of the Breast Cancer tournament.
