Inspirations: Making Peace with Football
Kenyan Fatuma Abdulkadir Adan turned to football to bring peace to her community
Outlook Inspirations nominee Fatuma Abdulkadir Adan grew up in the Marsabit area of Northern Kenya. Most of the families there are nomadic farmers who raise cattle and there has been a history of violent conflict between the different tribes in the area as they have competed for the best pasture, land and water for their animals. Fatuma wanted to bring peace to her community, and one day she came up with an idea - get people to play football instead of fighting.
