What we do

We do this by training African football coaches, games teachers and community leaders to use fun, interactive football sessions with inbuilt sexual health messaging with their players. Alongside receiving sexual health information during football sessions, players also have the chance to access sexual health services at sessions and football tournaments, such as HIV testing, condoms and other contraception, and referrals to further clinical services. We have programmes in twelve African countries, run through partnerships with local community organisations and football clubs.
