Hera Organization

Libya

HERA is based in Libya and was founded by the former members of Libya’s women’s national football team with the aim of developing and supporting girls and young women through sports. HERA uses football as an active learning tool to educate on issues of gender equality and discrimination, health and reconciliation. The group works in schools and with internally displaced persons in refugee camps and orphanages and aims to create sport spaces where girls can build strength, both physical and mental, to help face their daily realities. By acquiring the proper protection gear against Covid 19, the team is hoping to be able to resume with their activities and continue to provide their support to young women and girls.
