Mission
What We're About
SWB's program in Granada, Nicaragua was first founded in 2008. Since that time, the program has grown to serve 150+ girls in the city of Granada. The program provides girls with the social, educational and economic support they need to overcome obstacles to success and achieve their personal goals. The team atmosphere and shared identity provides girls with a network of caring peers and mentors that inspires each girl to stay enrolled in school, avoid risky behaviors and make healthy choices. By participating in programming, girls earn points that can be exchanged for school supplies, clothes, shoes, toiletries, and soccer equipment. In addition to on-field soccer programming and off-field after school activities, participants have the opportunity to be a part of SWB's Education Program which currently offers educational support to all participants and the opportunities to apply for secondary school scholarships. The program strives to empower these girls through soccer, the development of key skills, and connecting them to tangible education and career opportunities can help break the cycle and reset the precedent for what is expected of girls in Nicaragua, and what they expect of themselves.
