The campaign, led by Ama Brobey-Williams and two Women's Football advocates, Evelyn Nsiah-Asare and Winifred Mawudeku, visited the Bolgatanga Senior High School where they engaged over one thousand female students on Women’s Football and its prospects for the Ghanaian girl child.

The engagement centered around the promotion of the Sport amongst the girls and encouraged the active participation of girls in different aspects of the Football industry, including playing the game.

Female soccer teams in the Schools also had a chance to discuss and learn more about Women’s Football as Resource persons held a question and answer session with them.
