Saving Lives Through Sport

Across 60+ studies including 7 randomized-controlled trials, our research shows we are:

Grassroot Soccer has reached more than 25 million young people with life-saving health information and access to services.

Improving Adolescent Mental Health

Our mental health programs cut the number of participants with depression nearly in half.

Stopping the Spread of HIV

Participants are more likely to test for HIV, get on treatment, and stay on treatment, resulting in 3x fewer new HIV infections.

Girl participants are more likely to use modern contraception, resulting in 2.3x fewer unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and maternal deaths.
