Football 4 WASH - Health education through footbal
Adapted games for sensitisation on health/WASH
Football 4 WASH (F4W) is an innovative combination of sport and health messaging; fun-filled, yet educative, approach pooling the unique potential of football as a sport, to serve as a starting point for making training courses attractive to target groups, initiating a playful way of removing taboos and positive behavioural changes and integrating them permanently. Essentially, F4W involves developing, training and implementing football exercises and games called "drills," which impart relevant knowledge and important techniques to children in communities, such as washing hands regularly with soap or using toilets.
Football 4 Wash is a sport and health combination children's project that teaches about health and sanitation through fun football games. It includes rules related to water, sanitation and hygiene, while also providing girls with the opportunity to learn about menstrual hygiene
