Tamika Simpamba, in Grade 11 this year, has been selected to play for the Zambian U17 women’s football team. It is a spectacular achievement.

Two years ago, Tamika had never left our local compound and had only played football barefoot on the school’s uneven, bare-mud pitch. Now she is representing the nation in stadiums around Africa.

We are thrilled with her progress, and wish her every success.
