Our year-round, integrated educational curriculum focuses on health, social, and soccer/football skills. While children learn to play the game, they also learn social skills like teamwork, fair play, and peaceful solutions, and health topics like HIV/AIDS and malaria prevention, good nutrition, hygiene and clean water. Each weekly session is a building block in an activity-based 48-week program that encourages children to put these new skills into practice on the playing field and in their daily lives at home and in the community.

Reason:
The Play Soccer Program is more than an average program aimed at combating HIV, through football, children are taught teamwork, fair play and various aspects of life in general and HIV/AIDS. If you look into the way their curriculum is structured – simple football playing is structured into an educational activity which creates a better youth for tomorrow.
