Fahari which means, “be all you can be” is a girl project initiated by CHRISC Kenya in 2006. Its aim is to provide a positive force in girls’ development and educate them in essential values, morals, life skills and strengthen their social interaction through giving them a chance to participate in sports so as to create an arena for self expressions thus boosting their self esteem, equipping girls with leadership and life skills and also giving them different leadership roles within the organization.

Many young women have found themselves in compromising situations as a result of lack of life skills and being in the wrong company. Through sports and the spirit of sportsmanship the girls can learn how to respect and assert themselves, build their self esteem, learn about their health and develop a team spirit. By being involved in sports activities the girls can keep themselves busy and hence avoid engaging in unproductive activities.

This project has build good leaders in CHRISC as an organization who are role models in their communities. It’s encouraging seeing girls empowered and being able to take up leadership roles in CHRISC and other areas as well. Currently Fahari runs in Nairobi Githogoro area where we have developed 50 girls between the ages of 10 to 19 yrs. The leadership structure of this project is comprised of girls leaders.
