Nike | Gurls Talk Made to Play Fund: Mbali

  • Emma Clark

Meet Mbali Dlamini, one of the Gurls Talk Made to Play fund winners from Soweto, South Africa. She currently coaches 120 girls in an afterschool program she runs through Altus Sport in the township. With the Gurls Talk Made to Play fund, she’s expanding her program’s offerings to include a variety of sports activities, such as cricket, street soccer & silent ball, alongside life skills training that will help these girls better address issues such as peer pressure, abuse & bullying. Mbali uses sport to build girls’ confidence holistically, because when they feel confident, they perform better both on the field & off.
