The Waithaka Soccer Queens are a female Football Club in Nairobi, Kenya.

Traditionally, women's soccer in Kenya had no place.  Girls were not given the chance to play and pursue their talents.

Started in 2010, the Queens have worked their way from playing in dirt fields to the top premier league. They've built the team on a foundation of women’s empowerment through sport, and standout because of their philosophy of placing girls into schools through scholarship.

Using Football as a vehicle for social change, the girls have had to overcome innumerable obstacles.  First, it was just about even getting the chance to play publicly, then it was going against the grain and expectation of their family, to then figuring out how to get equipment and a place to play, never mind uniforms.  For the last eight years, different groups of girls have pioneered this club so what we see today is a real life success story.  They have made so many strides but still need so much support.  From living costs for Camp, to travel cost, the struggle is real.

 Amos Kimani, founder and head coach of the soccer queens, grew up as a street boy and was called "garbage eater" until an organization offered him a bed off the streets and gave him a new community. Amos has not taken that lightly and founded the soccer queens with the hope to be able to take young girls and offer them a similar path using soccer as their road to housing, education, and empowerment. Please help fund their next string of games and season and keep this story of hope on the path to success.
