Save the Children Teams Up With Seattle Sounders FC and Soccer Saves

Soccer Saves: Improving the Health, Education and Well-being of Young People in Africa

Soccer Saves is committed to helping create healthy lifestyles for disadvantaged youth by partnering with global humanitarian organizations that work to provide HIV/AIDS education, nutrition, gender equity and reproductive health using the power of soccer—the worlds greatest game!

This exciting new initiative—a teaming of Soccer Saves, the Seattle Sounders FC and Save the Children—will promote healthy lifestyles for youth in Africa using organized soccer as the foundation. With the support of Soccer Saves and soccer fans, adolescents and youth will have access to information and services that will help them reduce HIV transmission and unintended pregnancies.
