Tsukuba International Sports Academy (TIAS) collaborates with Mathare Youth Sport Association (MYSA) and Kenya Table Tennis Association (KTTA), which are active in the Mathare district in Nairobi, Kenya, to form a table tennis program for girls. We conducted a preliminary survey and a table tennis experience event.

We conducted hearings in response to a request from MYSA staff to engage in sports activities in which girls can participate. Interviews with MYSA staff, community library staff, teachers, parents of students, girls in the Mathare area, and participatory discussions by youth leaders identified local challenges and how to implement appropriate activities.
It has become clear that there are various challenges in four areas: quality of life (QOL), employment opportunities, education, and reproductive health. In order to implement the table tennis program as an approach to these issues, TIAS will continue to cooperate with MYSA and KTTA research surveys, monitoring, and evaluation.
