Sports and Health

Mpilonhle is expanding to integrate sports into its multi-dimensional health programme. Mpilonhle is working closely with local education and soccer officials to improve the capacity of existing soccer teams, support the creation of new teams (particularly with respect to girls), improve sports facilities in the area, and implement high school and community-based youth soccer leagues. As part of these sports activities Mpilonhle will conduct health education and HIV counseling, and implement a peer-based HIV prevention curriculum in partner schools.
