TackleAfrica was founded in May 2002 by a group of young people from the UK who had all lived or worked in Africa at some point in their lives. They recognised the potential of football as a means of bringing people together, and providing a platform from which to convey hugely important messages about HIV and AIDS.In early 2007, TackleAfrica piloted a unique way of combining HIV education directly into football coaching drills, publishing the first edition of the HIV education through football coaching manual later the same year. TackleAfrica now supports partners across Africa to work with young people on a range of issues related to HIV, sexual and reproductive health rights and empowerment.In August 2016, Coaching for Hope became part of TackleAfrica, allowing two of the UK’s leading international sport for development organisations to pool talent, share learning and provide an even better service to young people in Africa.TackleAfrica is governed by a Trustee Board, and a small staff team in the UK and each of the countries we work in, who support networks of local coaches to deliver sessions to young people in their communities.
