WhizzKids U. (Project Manager)

Africaid’s HIV prevention programme,WhizzKids United (WKU) is a pioneering approach to HIV prevention in that it uses football as a medium to teach life skills designed to enhance HIV prevention.
The ten-hour educational intervention taught on the football pitch, typically at schools during school hours. It teaches the children (12 girls and 12 boys at a time) in a language they all understand and enjoy: football. The children are taught professional football skills and these are then linked to a valuable life lesson by analogy (for instance, ball control in football is linked to self-control in life). The children come away from the course with empowered with knowledge, motivation and skills to remain HIV-free.

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you – or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.

Everyone loves football. We always need balls for our Life Skills programme and tournaments. They provide great excitement and incentive for the kids but wear out quickly. Please donate as little as 7 Euros per ball!
