Our methods

Our result

Girls and boys

get better grades
know more about HIV/AIDS
treat one another with mutual respect and appreciation
are more self-confident and self-assured when standing up for their interests (especially girls!)

1) Teacher Workshops

teach teachers how they can use sport, games and dialogue to educate children about HIV/AIDS and help girls protect themselves better.

2) Teaching and sports material

is provided for participating sports teachers and their schools (plus certificate).

3) Sportsteachers integrate

the content of the workshops into their classrooms to disseminate information.

4) Public ``bonanzas``

are very similar to the Federal Youth Games at German schools. Mixed teams take part in sport competitions. The workshop games represent fixed components of the competition. The winning school is awarded the coveted school project as the first prize.

5) School projects

are the first prize that finalists use to buy school furniture, renovate the classrooms or be able to finance the construction of new toilets. The school and parents are required to provide 25% of the financing.
