This project will use football coaching to provide 1200 teenage mothers and 1200 adolescent girls in Mangochi and Mchinji, the two districts with the highest prevalence of teenage pregnancy in the country, with the family planning knowledge, services and skills to guard against unplanned pregnancy and sexual/reproductive health rights issues. As a result they will be better able to complete their education, remain healthy and reach their full potential. Adolescent boys and young men in the community will also display more positive attitudes towards women.
