Description
Hello Workawayers!
My name is Stacy , a 23-year-old Kenyan. A final year law student, a sister and aunt to many😊. I am also a football coach and founder of a soccer academy within Oyugis town( with the help of some amazing workawayers)
I take pride in being the only known female coach in Oyugis who runs a soccer academy😊
OUR TEEN MOTHERS PROGRAM.
I am the founder of a Teen Mothers Empowerment Program, which has enabled me interact and be part of the lives of more than 40 girls in my community since the year 2020.
We are based in Oyugis Kenya.
As an organization, that is mainly run by youths( our board comprising of my friends who have recently graduated from Kabarak University). We strive to impact the lives of our youths, through funding teen mothers education, providing a rescue center for some of our beneficiaries who don't have a place to stay with their babies. And mentoring them to being the best they can ever be.
The program is born out of a need to respond to the rising cases of teenage pregnancies, early marriages, and school dropouts in our region, which often lead to cycles of poverty.
OUR SOCCER ACADEMY
We also run a soccer Academy that is affiliated to AFC stoneham in England.
The academy is as a result of a need to engage the teen mothers in other fun activities apart from book work.
As well as the need to create more awareness and rally people behind the fight against teen mothers stigmatization.
As an academy, some of our talented teen mom's have gotten a chance to showcase their talents and join the other players in having fun and developing their football talent.
We are currently having senior boys team, senior girls team, U17 boys team, U15 boys team, U 11 team. With 2 official local coaches and 2 senior players who acts as Assistant coaches .
VOLUNTEERS IMPACTFUL ROLE IN THE ACADEMY
Volunteers have been instrumental in making this dream alive.
The idea of incorporating sports with academics came from Oscar.
Emil being the first volunteer to coach the girls, together with Benny.
Aki , was the first volunteer coach for the U17 boys team.
Later Jacob, was the link to the UK team, and also lead the team through registration, and participation in county tournaments, and matches with top teams in the country.
The volunteers are also part of our football WhatsApp group where they help run the academy even while away.
VOLUNTEERS IMPACTFUL ROLE IN THE TEEN MOTHERS EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
Our volunteers such as , Erika, Lou, Johanna, Benny among others, have also been instrumental in looking after the babies while the mothers go to school.
They also help teach the girls subjects such as Biology, English, Mathematics, Chemistry, History, CRE.
Some like Lou, helped in organizing the school mentorship and sanitary drive programs,farming, mentorship, counselling among others.
We look forward to hosting you and having you be part of our community.

She fully gave herself to look after the babies and make life fun for our girls.
