Atarah has distinguished herself as the only girl in her club’s under-8 football A-team.

She is consistently selected for the starting lineup and recognised for her technical ability, composure, and determination.

She is also currently one of the top academic performers in her grade at her school in Ocean View.

This opportunity will allow her to access both high-quality education and advanced football training - a rare and significant step forward for a young girl in South African sport.

This life-changing opportunity was made possible through Kensio House Therapeutic Academy, a school whose core mission is to create opportunities for learners and help them thrive in the right environment.

Kensio House embraced the chance to give back to education and ensure that Atarah has the platform to reach her full potential.
