Loading ...Meet the Female Soccer Stars of Beddawi Refugee Camp
For young girls in Beddawi refugee camp, a sports tournament is more than just watching boys playing matches.
ANERA has designed an innovative sports program to use athletics as a tool for gender inclusion, conflict resolution and community development. After completely rehabilitating Beddawi’s soccer field, ANERA continues to organize tournaments and practices for youth to play soccer and other sports with professional coaches. An emphasis on bridging gender gaps ensures young girls get an opportunity to play together, too—a rarity in many communities.
Recently, a photographer from Germany, Anthea Schaap, visited the camp to take some unique photos of the girls that play soccer in Beddawi.
