Goal is an education initiative that combines sport and life skills training to empower adolescent girls in low-income communities. Established by Standard Chartered and delivered in partnership with Women Win, the programme operates in over 20 countries and primarily serves girls aged 12–20. Sessions are typically held weekly over a ten-month period in community centres and schools. The programme is guided by the belief that sport and life skills can equip girls to become leaders in their families, communities, and economies.
This report explores how adolescent girls participating in the Goal programme engage with technology, drawing on insights from focus groups conducted in New Delhi and Lagos in April and May 2017. As two of the programme’s longest-running locations, India and Nigeria offer valuable perspectives with relevance across Goal’s global footprint.
