Tackle uses the power and popularity of football to deliver HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) information and services to young people on football pitches across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We train African coaches to use fun, interactive football drills with inbuilt health messaging with young people in their clubs and communities. Football is a great way to engage with young people regularly – something that traditional health programmes and clinics often struggle to do. It provides a platform for regular health education with a respected and informed coach, and creates a safe space for young people to discuss sensitive issues. Our programmes improve understanding of key sexual health issues, give young people the skills and confidence to make safe decisions, and provide access to youth-friendly services such as HIV testing and counselling.

Impact Africa, founded in 2004 by Rich and Michelle Franzen, is a multi-faceted ministry with a mission to serve, educate and rescue individuals while provoking them toward a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ. We accomplish our mission through our five main ministry areas: Impact Kid Preschools, Impact Baby Rescue, Impact Mission Adventures, Impact Students, and the Missions Experience Program. We have a passion fueled by the love of Christ to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We accomplish our mission through partnering with the local community, local churches, and training Africans to reach Africans within their own communities.
