Initially, we developed one curriculum focusing on SRHR and GBV prevention, and this year we developed a curriculum focusing on Menstrual Health Management. The curriculum is based on self-directed learning using play, can be adopted with any sports/games and can be localized as per the partner organizations’ needs. We empower coaches to not just deliver the campaign with young people but also to apply these learnings and awareness in their lives beforehand.
Safeguarding: Keeping Up With Our Evolving World
March 29, 2024
The session made me ponder: What makes a country safe? Why are cases of abuse against children so low in Armenia? Surely every country has bad people, can a culture of non acceptance be enough to reduce the incidence of abuse?
This was about safeguarding at GOALS - In this first episode of the CAC TRAVEL DIARIES, read through what we experienced on our trip to Armenia.

Coaches Across Continents (CAC) are making a real difference in Uganda! We recently conducted a closed-door training session with coaches at our partners, Provident Initiative Uganda. Our Satellite Manager handed over vital equipment, bringing much-needed resources to the team.
The coaches were overjoyed – they'd been working with just one ball until now. We discussed training expectations, challenges, and how to effectively use CAC games for positive impact. This is just the start of our on-field support for Provident Initiative Uganda.

When we say we have taken a pledge to play everyday, we mean all that we do at CAC is about bringing purposeful play to the lives of people and communities so that they can make 'play' an essential part of their lives.

At Coaches Across Continents, we're on a mission to make that happen. With our partners, we work with girls, boys, and entire communities to teach about equal rights, challenge harmful stereotypes, and build respect for women and girls.
This one is from the efforts made by our partners, Green Kenya. So far? They have reached 89 amazing kids with our message. And this International Women's Day – their students totally surprised their female teachers with 'Happy WD' notes and balloons...it was awesome!

This month, in collaboration with Ishami Foundation Rwanda and Coaches Across Continents we joined Togetherness Football Club where a new soccer field is being built to empower young people through sports.During this time we used the CAC curriculum to create awareness about the connection between football games and life, encouraging people to remember(Kwibuka) the lives lost during the 1994 genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi in Rwanda and to honor the people whose relatives lost their lives.
PROTECTING ENVIRONMENT IN Mahembe Village.
"It was a bright and sunny day when our Community Impact Coach, Smith Kayembe gathered with the villagers to talk about global warming and climate change. During the interaction, the particpants were explained how our actions, like cutting down trees or pollution from mining and industry, are causing the seasons to change. But it wasn't about lecturing – together we played a game called "PROTECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT." "
