Kicking AIDS Out is an international Network of organisations
working together to use sport and physical activity as a means of
raising awareness about HIV and AIDS and motivating behaviour change
among youth.
The network shares information and best practices.
It promotes policy development, shares resource material and represents
a forum for exchange and discussion.
Kicking AIDS Out is an approach of combining sports
activities and addressing HIV/AIDS
Why Sport?
- Sport is a fun and exciting way to draw people
together that creates an environment conducive to sharing positive
mesages about HIV and AIDS and other health related issues.
- It provides opportunities to influence knowledge
and behaviour through the creation of meaningful mentorig relationships
between participants, Peer Leaders and coaches.
- There is the potential to emphasize and enhance
the life skill learning that is already inherent in participating
in sports.
- Empowering the youth with a signficant role in
organising and facilitating the physical activities further capatalises
on the power of sport to teach valuable life lessons.
