VOICED: Football healing old wounds in Northern Kenya

Three years ago, a road in northern Kenya was a battleground between tribes. Today, it hosts a transformative football project called Melissa and Moschini, aimed at ending poverty. The project unites diverse tribes, offering opportunities for personal growth and community development. It supports 1200 teams, including 72 women's groups, teaching skills like detergent making. Funded by a former resident, the project seeks more sponsors to expand its impact, especially with the upcoming World Cup in South Africa, which could attract more participants and heal past wounds.
