Africaid’s WhizzKids United (WKU) uses football to provide HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment and support to young people. In order to reduce infection rates, WKU teaches young people to avoid infection and provides continual support through its WKU Health Academies. WhizzKids United’s unique, holistic approach offers the long-term support necessary to create and sustain behaviour change.

So far, 25,000 young people have graduated from the programme. Document Actions
