Across the globe sport is being used to educate young people about HIV & AIDS. It is unique in its appeal to young people, and so offers special opportunities for endorsing the HIV/AIDS prevention message.
Through our local project partners we combine sport activities, like football training, with information on preventing and fighting HIV/AIDS. The sport coaches are trained to teach kids in the field of HIV/AIDS awareness through special sport exercises.
- HIV is no barrier to playing sport at any level
- In fact physical activity combined with treatments help people living with HIV to lead healthy lives
- HIV can be prevented through good education and awareness
- Act4Africa encourages all projects that can harness the global power of sport to help teach young people how to protect themselves and their partners

Max is Still Trying to Work Out How to Overcome the Age Difference between 9 and 23!
We'd only been gone 5 minutes when we heard the first splosh as Rosie dived into the Church lake and ran dripping through the ferns ahead of the group. At least one of us has benefited from intensive fitness training over the past few weeks – you can tell she's a duathlete. The group...

The Walk of Hope [Part 1]
Gosh, what to do, what to do? With each call in to HQ, my friends and colleagues seemed to be getting more and more frazzed and downhearted.
