“Girls and football don’t exactly go together in Argentina,” says Karen, 15, after she flies down the field during practice in the center of Villa 31, one of Buenos Aires’s poorest neighborhoods. The purpose of the Goals for Girls project is to build self-esteem through sports. Through weekly practices and matches, young women learn the fundamentals of teamwork and self-discipline, and that their participation, on the field or in the community, makes a difference.
