We’re playing football for 12 hours again this year for TackleAfrica because some of us have recovered just in time from it breaking us last year (flailing ankles and ligaments). Most survived, others haven't, so with some fresh faces and legs taking part in the team this year we hope you'll please support us in raising money for this incredible charity.

TA partners with local organisations to provide football coaching courses to local coaches. TA then supports the coaches to deliver the specially designed drills that help young people visualise and understand key sexual health and reproductive rights including around HIV, AIDS & FGM. Young people are supported to practice the skills and gain the confidence needed to make safe decisions to support themselves, their families and their communities.

TA's work has been shown to have a big impact in the communities they work in. Over 15,000 young people have engaged with voluntary HIV testing through their programmes, and this year alone they've reached over 20,000 people, across 12 African countries.
We believe more still needs to be done. According to UN, AIDS remains the leading cause of death among young people (aged 10-24) in Africa.

We appreciate any donation and it will make the blisters, cramps, fallen off toenails, broken knees and ankles, pulled hamstring, tears AND sunstroke worth it.

£50 raised supports numerous teams of young people to access pitch-side youth friendly HIV testing and counselling services. You can read more about their work here: http://tackleafrica.org/.
Thank you!
