Health and Wellbeing Programmes
Good health is essential for young people’s success. We use play to impart important health messages, helping young people learn the facts that can save their lives. Through play, they discover how to make safe, healthy choices and protect themselves and their families.
We train teachers and coaches to create safe spaces where children can openly discuss significant health issues like HIV/AIDS, malaria, sexual reproductive health, addiction and hygiene.
Through interactive games on the football pitch, we provide young people with accurate information about their health and the diseases impacting their communities, empowering them to overcome misinformation and stigma.
