So far, the streetfootballworld network member (since 2005) has demonstrated the effectiveness of incorporating social messages into a game so many Zambian youths love.

To be able to reach out to more Zambian kids and promote HIV/AIDS awareness in a innovative and exciting way, the Breakthrough Sports Academy is creating a national Zambian street football network. Breakthrough Sports Academy together with Grassroot Soccer will join forces to promote HIV/AIDS awareness in different areas throughout Zambia. HIV/AIDS awareness actions are based on the successful program of Grassroot Soccer, which has a long and fruitful track record in awareness promotion among youth in Africa. The national network will strengthen and support the existing social football projects in the country and facilitate local meetings and tournaments in Zambia.
