TOP PROJECT. 

Right, this is the good stuff. This is where we put the month’s most powerful #SportStory.

Tanzanian Womens Hockey Team

No jobs, no education, no money. This is life for women in Tanzania. But despite this, they are building something for themselves, a way to express themselves, a way to achieve and dream. You can give them hockey funding for as little as $15. Read more.
