Grassroot Soccer’s mission is to provide African youth with the knowledge, skills and support to live HIV-free. But it takes a village, and we need everyone’s help! The magnitude of the HIV epidemic demands that everyone contribute in whatever way they can – and that includes you! There’s always something going on at GRS, whether it’s a new program being launched in Africa or an event being held in your area!
Donate Now - GRS relies on the donations of individuals, groups, organizations, and companies to fund its programs throughout Africa. Every little bit helps, and it takes as little as $25 to put a student through the proven-effective SKILLZ Curriculum.
