- Zambia – Paul Zulu – I have played football as a goalkeeper. I realized that I could use football to teach under privilege youths about issues that affect them. The main barrier to empowering girls in Zambia has been quality education and access to entrepreneurship. To respond to this need I designed Girls Money Savvy through football to teach girls about financial literacy and entrepreneurship. The project is reaching over 3700. The initiative is to end intergenerational poverty among girls through soccer. I am very excited to attend the African Summit of Education through Sports because I will have an opportunity to learn and share with the changemakers and the rest of the sports community in Africa.
