Informal settlements like Witsand, underserved housing estates like Kariobangi or deprived city districts like Neukölln are dangerous places for girls.

Girls are excluded from leadership positions, from education, from freedom to develop as an self defining individual in her community.

Boxgirls International helps girls discover their strength and use it for the good of their community.

We help girls learn to defend themselves, take on the challenge of coaching younger girls and preparing themselves to take on roles of leadership in their society.

We take active part in creating safer communities through starting a dialogue with parents, teachers, business owners about security and dignity for girls and women.

We seek out the most troubled areas to locate our projects and are very proud to be on the front line fighting gender based violence.

We also work with boys' organisations to help them develop coaching strategies to support the boys to grow into non-violent men.

Boxgirls International works in Nairobi, Berlin and Cape Town delivering excellent coaching through boxing club and primary school programmes, as well as outreach activities to business, government and media decision makers to improve women's sport, social and economic participation and inclusion in general.

We offer training in Gyms in Khaylitscha Site C and neighboring primary schools as well as in Witsand near the N7 in the sport container. For more information on when and where to train contact us.

In addition to sports training we offer other programmes throughout the year on first aid, leadership. economic literacy and media skills. Be in touch to apply to take part.
