THIS IS WHY I STARTED.

I am a product of a grassroots coach. Someone who showed up for me with no resources, no recognition, just pure belief that I could become something great.

🚨Phase 2 is here.

Ten clubs. Four Local Government Areas. One venue.

Rash Hygiene Hub is coming to your club.

Because every girl deserves to feel clean, confident, and cared on and off the pitch.

We’re bringing the Rash hygiene Self-Care Pack, practical health education, and a safe space for grassroots female footballers to learn, grow, and thrive. Because before she’s an athlete, she’s first a girl child who deserves the right support.

Phase 1 reached 171 girls across nine clubs. ✅

Phase 2 is bigger.

She is first a girl child before she is an athlete.

That is the whole idea behind Rash Hygiene Hub. The Rash Hygiene Hub is the @RAFoundationNG personal care and health education initiative for girls in grassroots football academies across Nigeria.

Eight months ago I packed a bag every Sunday and left Ibadan.

I did not fully know what I was walking into. I just knew I had to go.

[The Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation @RAFoundationNG]

May this milestone open doors to even greater opportunities to grow and impact lives on and off the pitch.

Congratulations to you all.

@PSG_Feminines If you believe what I believe that Nigerian sport changes from the ground up, not the top down, share this. Invest in this. Be a part of this.

@PSG_Feminines Behind every great Nigerian athlete is a coach who believed in them first.

Let us invest in those coaches.

She sold Okrika on the streets of Edo State.

Today she moves $50 million across four continents.

And in this episode, she gave us the exact blueprint — the mindset, the money, the faith, all of it.

THIS IS WHY I STARTED. .

I am a product of a grassroots coach. Someone who showed up for me with no resources, no recognition, just pure belief that I could become something great.

And I did. By God’s grace, I play for @PSG_Feminines and I captain the Super Falcons of Nigeria.

But as my career grew, I started to notice something that broke my heart.

The coaches doing this work every single day across Nigeria on grassroots pitches, in communities, with barely any resources, no one is investing in them.

No certificate. No formal training. No support. Just passion. Just love for the game.

So I made a decision.

I started the Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation NIS Coaching Education Scholarship because I believe that if you invest in the coach, you invest in every single player they will ever coach for the rest of their career and for the rest of their lives.

Behind every great Nigerian athlete is a coach who believed in them first.

Let us invest in those coaches.

If you believe what I believe that Nigerian sport changes from the ground up, not the top down, share this. Invest in this. Be a part of this.

I had the privilege of engaging with coaches in Jos, Plateau State, through the Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation's Coaches' Sensitisation Session on Safeguarding, Anti-Discrimination, and Code of Conduct.

Football is more than the game we play on the pitch; it is about creating safe, respectful, and inclusive environments where every player can learn, grow, and thrive.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share, learn, and contribute to conversations that will help shape a better future for our athletes and the sport we all love.

It was a great honour to meet with His Excellency, Governor Caleb Muftwang , the Executive Governor of Plateau state at the State House in Jos as a part of the Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation's visit to the beautiful city of Jos

On this visit, the development of women's football at grassroots level with special emphasis on coaching development and player education was front and centre.

As a Foundation, we understand that sports talent optimization is critical to building stronger communities and this visit was to further strengthen our drive to ensure that these talents are supported in every way possible to become the best version of themselves.

The Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation believes that sport is not separate from society, it reflects it. When we invest in coaches, protect young players, and create pathways for young girls and boys in football we are investing in Africa itself.

We are grateful for the Governor's reception and for the opportunity to bring this conversation to the highest level in Plateau State.

The drive to impact the promising sports ecosystem continues.

A Full Day Experience with RASH

I remember what it felt like to be a young girl with a ball at my feet and a dream too big for my surroundings. No fancy boots. No shortcuts. No role model to connect with, Just grass, grit, and my belief in God that my talent doesn't need a title to be real.

Every step of my journey, from local pitches in Nigeria to wearing the Super Falcons captain's armband, from grassroots fields to Paris Saint-Germain was built on people who saw something in me before I saw it in myself. Somebody believed .

So, now its time to reinforce the believe in other aspiring female athletes.

On Monday, 6th July 2026, i will be selecting 5 female grassroots footballers in Lagos State to spend a full day with me and also experience what it takes to be a successful professional female player.

This entails:
* Football training session.
* Gym session.
* Mentorship, Q&A.
* Self-care.
* Gifts ( football boots and jerseys ) and real conversations about what it takes to go from the streets to the global stage.

This isn't just an event. It's a message that " your background does not define your future", Your dream is valid, and someone out there is watching, someone who genuinely cares and ready to walk and the journey with you.

If that's you or a young girl you know who's been kicking dreams around a dusty field, waiting for her shot this is for you.
