100 Years | 100 Lives: Kibera Girls Soccer Academy

Discover the connection between JA and digital journalism in this heart-warming and inspiring story of the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy in Kenya, part of our 100 Lives series, funded in part by FedEx.

After Richard Tekka started a soccer team for girls in Kibera, Kenya, Africa's largest slum, he realized that the girls needed more than soccer: they needed an education. So he started the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy (KGSA) as a free school, with JA at its heart.
