GoalGirls Academy

GoalGirls Academy is a Honduran project that combines soccer with technology, aimed at female athletes, students, and enthusiasts interested in exploring and learning about the blockchain and Web3 world integrated with sports and education. This is a non-profit initiative focused on rescuing young girls at risk and from low-income backgrounds, particularly those vulnerable in marginalized sectors of society in our city, San Pedro Sula. We work with young people between the ages of 12 and 18, providing them with the opportunity for a dignified education and the chance to belong to a community where they can contribute knowledge and excel through their skills.
