. Simply organise a game of girls football (can be any age and any level) to be held in your local area and join the growing population around the world fighting for equality in Africa.
A pack will be distributed to each organiser who commits to host a Go Sisters World Series game. This will help you to organise your event as efficiently as possible. It will contain sponsor forms, official match programmes and step by step instructions of ‘Kicking Aids Out’ activities. We hope each player will be given the chance to participate fully in the Go Sisters experience by incorporating these fun activities into your warm up session prior to kick off.
A small deposit of £10 will be asked from each organiser in advance to cover costs of materials and postage for this pack. You can recoup this from your fundraising costs after the game.
Each player participating in the Go Sisters World Series will be encouraged to raise funds to contribute to supporting the Go Sisters programme and to be part of this incredible event in their local community. A target of £20 minimum per player will be allocated to UK participants as a guidance figure although as an organiser you may wish to give each player or each team a fundraising target.
Go Sisters World Series is a registered concept under UK law (to be confirmed - May 2008). We recognised from the outset the power of the Go Sisters branding owned by EduSport Zambia, we want to support this and promote the values intrinsically associated with the activities. Friend of EduSport work in unity with EduSport in Zambia to support the mission to ‘build happy, healthy and sustainable communities’.
The message of Go Sisters extends beyond the football pitch; it is a powerful message to the girls across the world to unite to promote equality through the vehicle of sport. We encourage girls to come together on the 9th August in every community from every continent to share in this enriching experience and make a real difference to the lives of many young people in Zambia, whilst enjoying the liberation of girl’s football.
